Hosea 12:3

3 In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel;

as a man he struggled with God.

3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb,

And by his strength he had power with God:

3 Even in the womb,

Jacob struggled with his brother;

when he became a man,

he even fought with God.

3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb,

And in his strength he struggled with God.

3 Their ancestor Jacob held on to his brother’s heel

while the two of them were being born.

When he grew to be a man,

he wrestled with God.

3 In the womb he took his brother by the heel; and in his manhood he had power with God:

3 He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and in his strength he wrestled with God.

3 Their ancestor Jacob held on to his brother’s heel 

while the two of them were in their mother’s womb. 

When Jacob became a man, he struggled with God. 

3 In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel,

and as an adult he wrestled with God.

3 In the womb he tried to supplant his brother,

and in his manhood he strove with God.

3 In the womb he deceived his brother,

and in his manhood he struggled with God.

3 Even before Jacob was born,

he was holding on to his brother’s heel.

When he became a man,

he struggled with God.

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

And in his maturity he contended with God.
