Hos Hosea, chapter Book of Hosea, chapter 12
Ephraim striveth after wind, and followeth after the east wind; all the day he multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt. Hos 5:13; Hos 7:11The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways, according to his doings will He recompense him. Hos 4:9In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and by his strength he strove with a godlike being; Gen 25:26; Gen 32:24So he strove with an angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him; at Beth-el he would find him, and there he would speak with us; But the LORD, the God of hosts, the LORD is His name. Exo 3:15Therefore turn thou to thy God; keep mercy and justice, and wait for thy God continually. As for the trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand. He loveth to oppress. And Ephraim said: 'Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth; in all my labours they shall find in me no iniquity that were sin.' But I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt; I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the appointed season. Isa 43:11; Hos 13:4I have also spoken unto the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and by the ministry of the prophets have I used similitudes. If Gilead be given to iniquity becoming altogether vanity, in Gilgal they sacrifice unto bullocks; yea, their altars shall be as heaps in the furrows of the field. Hos 9:15And Jacob fled into the field of Aram, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep. Gen 28:5; Gen 29:20And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet was he kept. Exo 3:10; Exo 12:37Ephraim hath provoked most bitterly; therefore shall his blood be cast upon him, and his reproach shall his Lord return unto him.
