Hosea 12:1-3

1Ephraim1 feeds on the wind and pursues the east wind all day long; he multiplies lies and violence; he makes a covenant with Assyria and sends olive oil to Egypt.

2The LORD has a charge to bring against Judah.He will punish Jacob2 according to his waysand repay him according to his deeds.3In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel,and in his vigor he wrestled with God.
