Hosea 12:1-3

Living Bible

12 Israel is chasing the wind, yes, shepherding a whirlwind—a dangerous game!^[a] For she has given gifts to Egypt and Assyria to get their help, and in return she gets their worthless promises.

² But the Lord is bringing a lawsuit against Judah. Jacob will be justly punished for his ways. ³ When he was born, he struggled with his brother; when he became a man, he even fought with God.
