Hosea 12:1-3 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

1. Ephraim feeds on wind,and chases the east wind.He continually multiplies lies and desolation.They make a covenant with Assyria,and oil is carried into Egypt.

2. The Lord also has a controversy with Judah,and will punish Jacob according to his ways;according to his deeds he will repay him.

3. In the womb he took his brother by the heel;and in his manhood he contended with God.
