Hosea 12:1-3

Common English Bible

12 ^[a] Ephraim herds the wind,
        and pursues the east wind all day long;
    they multiply lies and violence;
        they make a treaty with Assyria,
        and oil is carried to Egypt.
² The Lord has a charge against Judah,
        and will punish Jacob according to his ways,
        and respond to him according to his deeds.
³ From the womb he tried to be the oldest of twin brothers;
        as an adult he struggled with God.
