Hosea 12:2-4
New International Version - UK
2 The Lord has a charge to bring against Judah;
he will punish Jacob[a] according to his ways
and repay him according to his deeds.
3 In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel;
as a man he struggled with God.
4 He struggled with the angel and overcame him;
he wept and begged for his favour.
He found him at Bethel
and talked with him there –
