Hosea 12:1-7

1 Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind; he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
2 The LORD hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will He recompense him.
3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God.
4 Yea, he had power over the angel and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto Him; he found Him in Bethel, and there He spoke with us,
5 even the LORD God of hosts; the LORD is his memorial.
6 Therefore turn thou to thy God; keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.
7 Canaan is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand; he loveth to oppress.
