Ephraim
<0669>

feedeth
<07462> (8802)

on wind
<07307>_,

and followeth
<07291> (8802)

after the east wind
<06921>_:

he daily
<03117>

increaseth
<07235> (8686)

lies
<03577>

and desolation
<07701>_;

and they do make
<03772> (8799)

a covenant
<01285>

with the Assyrians
<0804>_,

and oil
<08081>

is carried
<02986> (8714)

into Egypt
<04714>_.

12:2

The LORD
<03068>

hath also a controversy
<07379>

with Judah
<03063>_,

and will punish
<06485> (8800)

Jacob
<03290>

according to his ways
<01870>_;

according to his doings
<04611>

will he recompense
<07725> (8686)

him. {punish: Heb. visit upon}

12:3

He took his brother
<0251>

by the heel
<06117> (8804)

in the womb
<0990>_,

and by his strength
<0202>

he had power
<08280> (8804)

with God
<0430>_:

{had...: Heb. was a prince, or, behaved himself princely}

12:4

Yea, he had power
<07786> (8799)

over the angel
<04397>_,

and prevailed
<03201> (8799)_:

he wept
<01058> (8804)_,

and made supplication
<02603> (8691)

unto him: he found
<04672> (8799)

him [in] Bethel
<01008>_,

and there he spake
<01696> (8762)

with us;

12:5

Even the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of hosts
<06635>_;

the LORD
<03068>

[is] his memorial
<02143>_.
