Hosea 12:5
Compare all
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.’

Hosea 12:5

The Lord God of hosts - He that appeared and spake, who promised the blessing and commanded the reformation at Beth - el was Jehovah, the eternal and unchangeable God; who can perform his promise, and execute his threat, who is a most terrible enemy, and most desirable friend. The Lord - Jehovah, repeated for confirmation. His memorial - By this he will be known.
