4 Yes, he struggled with the Angel and prevailed;
He wept, and sought favor from Him.
He found Him in aBethel,
And there He spoke to us—
He wept, and sought favor from Him.
He found Him in aBethel,
And there He spoke to us—
6 aSo you, by the help of your God, return;
Observe mercy and justice,
And wait on your God continually.
Observe mercy and justice,
And wait on your God continually.
8 And Ephraim said,
a‘Surely I have become rich,
I have found wealth for myself;
In all my labors
They shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.’
a‘Surely I have become rich,
I have found wealth for myself;
In all my labors
They shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.’
