and boil is carried to Egypt.

The Lord's Indictment of Israel and Judah

2cThe Lord has an indictment against Judah

and will punish Jacob according to his ways;

he will repay him according to his deeds.

3dIn the womb he took his brother by the heel,

and in his manhood he strove with God.

4He strove with the angel and prevailed;

he wept and sought his favor.

eHe met God1 at Bethel,

and there God spoke with us—

5the Lord, the God of hosts,

fthe Lord is his memorial name:

6“So you, gby the help of your God, return,

hhold fast to love and justice,

and wait continually for your God.”

7A merchant, in whose hands are ifalse balances,

he loves jto oppress.

8Ephraim has said, “Ah, but kI am rich;

I have found wealth for myself;

in all my labors lthey cannot find in me iniquity or sin.”

9mI am the Lord your God

from the land of Egypt;

I will again make you ndwell in tents,

as in the days of the appointed feast.

10oI spoke to the prophets;

it was I who multiplied pvisions,

and through the prophets gave parables.

11qIf there is iniquity in Gilead,

they shall surely come to nothing:

rin Gilgal they sacrifice bulls;

stheir altars also are like stone heaps

ton the furrows of the field.

12uJacob fled to the land of Aram;

there Israel vserved for a wife,

and for a wife he guarded sheep.

13By wa prophet xthe Lord brought Israel up from Egypt,

and by a prophet he was guarded.

14yEphraim has given bitter provocation;

so his Lord zwill leave his bloodguilt on him

aand will repay him for his disgraceful deeds.
