Hosea 12:1 - The Message

Ephraim, obsessed with god-fantasies, chases ghosts and phantoms.
He tells lies nonstop,
   soul-destroying lies.
Both Ephraim and Judah made deals with Assyria
   and tried to get an inside track with Egypt.
God is bringing charges against Israel.
   Jacob’s children are hauled into court to be punished.
In the womb, that heel, Jacob, got the best of his brother.
   When he grew up, he tried to get the best of God.
But God would not be bested.
   God bested him.
Brought to his knees,
   Jacob wept and prayed.
God found him at Bethel.
   That’s where he spoke with him.
God is God-of-the-Angel-Armies,
   God-Revealed, God-Known.
