Hosea 12:2-4

New Catholic Bible

² Ephraim chases the wind,
    ever pursuing the east wind throughout the day.
Numerous are his lies and treachery;
    he makes a treaty with Assyria
    while sending oil to Egypt.
³ The Lord has a charge to bring against Judah;
    he will punish Jacob as his conduct deserves;
    he will requite him according to his deeds.
⁴ While still in the womb he supplanted his brother,
    and as a man he struggled with God.
