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