Hosea 12:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Hosea 12:5

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.

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.’
