4 Yes, he struggled with the Angel and prevailed;
He wept, and sought favor from Him.

And there He spoke to us—

Observe mercy and justice,
And wait on your God continually.

aDeceitful scales are in his hand;

I have found wealth for myself;
In all my labors
They shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.’
