Hosea 12:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Hosea 12:3

1 “Ephraim ^afeeds on the wind,
And pursues the east wind;
He daily increases lies and¹ desolation.
^bAlso they make a¹ covenant with the Assyrians,
And ^coil is carried to Egypt.

2 “The^a Lord also brings a charge against Judah,
And will punish Jacob according to his ways;
According to his deeds He will recompense him.

3 He took his brother ^aby the heel in the womb,
And in his strength he ^bstruggled with God.

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—

5 That is, the Lord God of hosts.
The Lord is His ^amemorable name.

6 ^aSo you, by the help of your God, return;
Observe mercy and justice,
And wait on your God continually.

7 “A cunning¹ Canaanite!
^aDeceitful scales are in his hand;
He loves to oppress.
