1. All day long Israel chaseswind from the desert;deceit and violenceare found everywhere.Treaties are made with Assyria;olive oil is taken to Egypt.
2. The Lord also brings chargesagainst the people of Judah,the descendants of Jacob.He will punish themfor what they have done.
3. Even before Jacob was born,he cheated his brother,and when he grew up,he fought against God.
