Hosea 12:1-3 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Ephraim feeds on the windand chases after the east wind all day long.He multiplies lies and devastation.They make a covenant with Assyria,and oil is carried to Egypt.

2. The Lord has a dispute with Judah,and will punish Jacob according to his ways,and repay him according to his doings.

3. In the womb, he took his brother by the heel,and by his strength he strove with God.
