1Ephraim feeds on wind, and chases the east wind. 2JEHOVAH 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 JEHOVAH, 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 JEHOVAH 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 JEHOVAH brought Israel up out of Egypt, 14Ephraim has bitterly provoked anger.
