Text -- Hosea 12:1-4 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
12:1 Ephraim continually feeds on the wind ; he chases the east wind all day ; he multiplies lies and violence . They make treaties with Assyria , and send olive oil as tribute to Egypt .
12:2 The Lord also has a covenant lawsuit against Judah ; he will punish Jacob according to his ways and repay him according to his deeds .
Israel Must Return to the God of Jacob
12:3 In the womb he attacked his brother ; in his manly vigor he struggled with God .
12:4 He struggled with an angel and prevailed ; he wept and begged for his favor . He found God at Bethel , and there he spoke with him!
