He wrestled with the angel
Ephraim feeds on wind and follows after the east wind. He daily increases lies and desolation. They make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt. The Lord has a case against Judah too. He will punish Jacob for his ways and pay him back for what he does. In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and in his strength he struggled with God. He struggled with the angel and won. He wept and begged for his favour. He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with us — Even the Lord God Almighty — the Lord is his memorial. So you must turn back to your God. Hold on to mercy and justice, and wait on your God always. A trader with dishonest scales in his hand — he loves to cheat. And Ephraim says, I have certainly made my money. I have done well for myself. In all my work they will find nothing in me that counts as sin. But I am the Lord your God, from the land of Egypt. I will make you live in tents again, as in the days of the appointed feast. I have spoken by the prophets, and given many visions, and told parables through the prophets. Is there wrongdoing in Gilead? Surely they are nothing. They sacrifice young bulls in Gilgal, and their altars are like heaps in the furrows of the fields. Jacob fled to the country of Syria. Israel worked for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep. And by a prophet the Lord brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was kept safe. Ephraim has bitterly provoked him. So his Lord will leave his bloodshed on him and pay back his contempt.
Ephraim feeds on wind and chases the east wind. He keeps making lies and wrecking. And they make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt. The Lord has a case with Judah too, and he'll deal with Jacob according to his ways. He'll pay him back according to what he's done. He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and in his strength he had power with God. Yes, he had power over the angel and won. He wept and pleaded with him. He found him at Bethel, and that's where he spoke with us — the Lord God Almighty. The Lord is his name to be remembered by. So turn back to your God. Keep mercy and judgment, and wait on your God always. He's a trader with dishonest scales in his hand. He loves to crush people. And Ephraim said: I've got rich, no question. I've found myself wealth. In all my work they'll find no wrongdoing in me that would be sin. And I'm the Lord your God from the land of Egypt. I'll still make you live in tents, like in the days of the set feast. I've spoken by the prophets too, and I've made plenty of visions, and I've used sayings through the prophets. Is there wrongdoing in Gilead? They're nothing but empty. They sacrifice bulls in Gilgal. Yes, their altars are like heaps in the furrows of the fields. And Jacob ran off to the country of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and kept sheep for a wife. And the Lord brought Israel out of Egypt by a prophet, and by a prophet he was kept. Ephraim has made him bitterly angry. So he'll leave his blood on him, and his Master will turn his insults back on him.
Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt. The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him. He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God: Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us; Even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial. Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually. He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress. And Ephraim said, Yet I am become rich, I have found me out substance: in all my labours they shall find none iniquity in me that were sin. And I that am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt will yet make thee to dwell in tabernacles, as in the days of the solemn feast. I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes, by the ministry of the prophets. Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields. And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep. And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he preserved. Ephraim provoked him to anger most bitterly: therefore shall he leave his blood upon him, and his reproach shall his LORD return unto him.
