1 Efraim se alimenta de vento, e persegue o vento oriental o dia todo; multiplica a mentira e a destruição; e fazem aliança com a Assíria, e azeite se leva ao Egito.

2 O SENHOR também tem uma briga judicial com Judá, e punirá Jacó conforme seus caminhos; ele lhe retribuirá conforme seus atos.

3 No ventre [da mãe] pegou pelo calcanhar de seu irmão, e em sua força lutou com Deus.

4 Lutou com o anjo, e prevaleceu; chorou, e lhe suplicou; [em] Betel o achou, e ali falou conosco.

5 O próprio SENHOR, Deus dos exércitos; o SENHOR é seu memorial.
