1 Ephraim feeds on wind,
2 The LORD also has a controversy with Judah,
3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel,
4 Indeed, he struggled with the angel, and prevailed;
5 even the LORD, the God of Armies.
6 Therefore turn to your God.
7 A merchant has dishonest scales in his hand.
8 Ephraim said, “Surely I have become rich.
9 “But I am the LORD your God from the land of Egypt.
10 I have also spoken to the prophets,
11 If Gilead is wicked,
12 Jacob fled into the country of Aram.
13 By a prophet the LORD brought Israel up out of Egypt,
14 Ephraim has bitterly provoked anger.
