Hosea 12:1-3 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. 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.
