“12:1-14 God urged Israel to examine the life of Jacob. The phrase “in his manhood he strove with God” (v. 3) refers to Jacob’s attempt to use his physical strength to obtain blessing from God when he wrestled with God’s angel at Peniel (Gen. 32:30, cf. Hos. 12:4a). Jacob ultimately submitted to God’s control and returned to Bethel, the place where he first had fellowship with God (Gen. 28:16-22; cf. Hos. 12:4b). The Lord wanted Israel to learn from Jacob’s tenacity in desiring God’s blessing. If they would only turn back to God from their sin, and earnestly desire his mercy and forgiveness, his blessings would be theirs as well (v. 6).” (HEBREW-GREEK KEY WORD® STUDY BIBLE) (ESV) (English Standard Version) (AMG Publishers)

“Hosea 12
English Standard Version
12 Ephraim feeds on the wind
and pursues the east wind all day long;
they multiply falsehood and violence;
they make a covenant with Assyria,
and oil is carried to Egypt.
The Lord’s Indictment of Israel and Judah
2 The Lord has an indictment against Judah
and will punish Jacob according to his ways;
he will repay him according to his deeds.
3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel,
and in his manhood he strove with God.
4 He strove with the angel and prevailed;
he wept and sought his favor.
He met God[a] at Bethel,
and there God spoke with us—
5 the Lord, the God of hosts,
the Lord is his memorial name:
6 “So you, by the help of your God, return,
hold fast to love and justice,
and wait continually for your God.”
7 A merchant, in whose hands are false balances,
he loves to oppress.
8 Ephraim has said, “Ah, but I am rich;
I have found wealth for myself;
in all my labors they cannot find in me iniquity or sin.”
9 I am the Lord your God
from the land of Egypt;
I will again make you dwell in tents,
as in the days of the appointed feast.
10 I spoke to the prophets;
it was I who multiplied visions,
and through the prophets gave parables.
11 If there is iniquity in Gilead,
they shall surely come to nothing:
in Gilgal they sacrifice bulls;
their altars also are like stone heaps
on the furrows of the field.
12 Jacob fled to the land of Aram;
there Israel served for a wife,
and for a wife he guarded sheep.
13 By a prophet the Lord brought Israel up from Egypt,
and by a prophet he was guarded.
14 Ephraim has given bitter provocation;
so his Lord will leave his bloodguilt on him
and will repay him for his disgraceful deeds.
