Ephraim compasseth Me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; and Judah is yet wayward towards God, and towards the Holy One who is faithful.

Ephraim striveth after wind, and followeth after the east wind; all the day he multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.

Yehovah hath also a controversy with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways, according to his doings will He recompense him.

In the womb he took his brother by the heel, and by his strength he strove with a godlike being;
|
וָיָּ֤שַׂר אֶל־מַלְאָךְ֙ וַיֻּכָ֔ל בָּכָ֖ה וַיִּתְחַנֶּן־ל֑וֹ בֵּֽית־אֵל֙ יִמְצָאֶ֔נּוּ וְשָׁ֖ם יְדַבֵּ֥ר עִמָּֽנוּ׃

So he strove with an angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication unto him; at Beth-el he would find him, and there he would speak with us;
|
וַֽיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י הַצְּבָא֑וֹת יְהוָ֖ה זִכְרֽוֹ׃

But Yehovah, the God of hosts, Yehovah is His name.

Therefore turn thou to thy God; keep mercy and justice, and wait for thy God continually.

As for the trafficker, the balances of deceit are in his hand. He loveth to oppress.

And Ephraim said: 'Surely I am become rich, I have found me wealth; in all my labours they shall find in me no iniquity that were sin.'

But I am Yehovah thy God from the land of Egypt; I will yet again make thee to dwell in tents, as in the days of the appointed season.
