Hosea 12:1-7
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
1
Ephraim feeds on wind,
And pursues the east wind continually;
He multiplies lies and violence.
Moreover, he makes a covenant with Assyria,
And oil is brought to Egypt.
2
The
Lord
also has a case against Judah,
And will punish Jacob according to his ways;
He will repay him according to his deeds.
3
In the womb he took his brother by the heel,
And in his mature strength he contended with God.
4
Yes, he wrestled with the angel and prevailed;
He wept and implored His favor.
He found Him at Bethel,
And there He spoke with us,
5
And the
Lord
, the God of armies,
The
Lord
is His name.
6
So as for you, return to your God,
Maintain kindness and justice,
And wait for your God continually.
7
A merchant, in whose hands are fraudulent balances,
Loves to exploit.
King James Version
Chapter 12
1
Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.
2
The
Lord
hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings will he recompense him.
3
He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God:
4
Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed: he wept, and made supplication unto him: he found him in Bethel, and there he spake with us;
5
Even the
Lord
God of hosts; the
Lord
is his memorial.
6
Therefore turn thou to thy God: keep mercy and judgment, and wait on thy God continually.
7
He is a merchant, the balances of deceit are in his hand: he loveth to oppress.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 12
1
Ephraim chases the wind
and pursues the east wind.
He continually multiplies lies and violence.
He makes a covenant with Assyria,
and olive oil is carried to Egypt.
2
The
Lord
also has a dispute with Judah.
He is about to punish Jacob according to his conduct;
he will repay him based on his actions.
3
In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel,
and as an adult he wrestled with God.
4
Jacob struggled with the angel and prevailed;
he wept and sought his favor.
He found him at Bethel,
and there he spoke with him.
5
The
Lord
is the God of Armies;
the
Lord
is his name.
6
But you must return to your God.
Maintain love and justice,
and always put your hope in God.
7
A merchant loves to extort
with dishonest scales in his hands.
New Living Translation
Chapter 12
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 Assyria
while 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.
4
Yes, he wrestled with the angel and won.
He wept and pleaded for a blessing from him.
There at Bethel he met God face to face,
and God spoke to him —
5
the
Lord
God of Heaven’s Armies,
the
Lord
is his name!
6
So now, come back to your God.
Act with love and justice,
and always depend on him.
7
But no, the people are like crafty merchants
selling from dishonest scales —
they love to cheat.
English Standard Version

and there God spoke with us —
5
the
Lord
, the God of hosts,
the
Lord
is his memorial name:
6
"So you, by the help of your God, return,
hold fast to love and justice,
and wait continually for your God."

A merchant, in whose hands are false balances,
he loves to oppress.

the

God Almighty,

Lord
is his name!

But you must return to your God;
maintain love and justice,
and wait for your God always.

The
Lord
is
His memorable name.

So you, by
the help of
your God, return;
Observe mercy and justice,
And wait on your God continually.

Deceitful scales
are
in his hand;
He loves to oppress.
