Hosea 12

KJ3 Literal Translation — Chapter 12 of 14

1 Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind; all the day he multiplies lies and ruin. And they cut a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.

2 And Jehovah has a quarrel with Judah, and will call Jacob to account according to his ways; He will repay to him according to his doings;

3 he took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he prevailed with God.
