• 12 Ephraim herds the wind[fn] and is pursuing the east wind all day long;
  • he multiplies deception and violence
• and he[fn] [fn]
  • and oil is brought to Egypt.
  • 2 [fn] with Judah and will punish Jacob according to his ways
    • and repay him according to his deeds.
  • 3  and in his manhood he struggled with God.
  • 4 the angel and prevailed; he pleaded for his mercy.
• He met him at Bethel,
  • and there he spoke with him.[fn]
  • 5  Yahweh is his renowned name!
  • 6  keep love and justice,
    • and wait continually for your God.
  • 7 The trader, in his hand are scales of deceit;[fn] he loves to oppress.
  • 8  I gained[fn] wealth for myself;
• in all my toil they have not found guilt in me
  • that is sin.
  • 9 am Yahweh your God since[fn] the land of Egypt;
• I will make you live in tents again,
  • like the days of the appointed festival.
  • 10  I myself multiplied revelations[fn]
    • and through the hand of the prophets I will destroy.
  • 11 in Gilead there is evil, surely they will come to nothing.
• In Gilgal they sacrifice bulls,
  • also their altars will be like stone heaps
  • on furrows of the field.
  • 12 to the open field of Aram,[fn] and Israel served for a wife,
  • and for a wife he watched over sheep.
  • 13  Israel up from Egypt,
• and by a prophet
  • he[fn] was watched over.
  • 14  and his Lord will[fn]
  • and pay back to him his insults.
