He took his brother (A)by the heel in the womb,
And in his strength he (B)struggled with God.
Yes, he struggled with the Angel and prevailed;
He wept, and sought favor from Him.
He found Him in (C)Bethel,
And there He spoke to us—
That is, the Lord God of hosts.
The Lord is His (D)memorable name.
(E)So you, by the help of your God, return;
Observe mercy and justice,
And wait on your God continually.
