1. The people of Israel feed on the wind;they chase after the east wind all day long.They pile up lies and violence;they are making an alliance with Assyriawhile sending olive oil to buy support from Egypt.
2. Now the lord is bringing charges against Judah.He is about to punish Jacob for all his deceitful ways,and pay him back for all he has done.
3. Even in the womb,Jacob struggled with his brother;when he became a man,he even fought with God.
