God will check Jacob’s people and pay them back for what they did. ⚖️ 3 When Jacob was a baby, he held his brother’s heel. When he was a man, he fought with God. 4 Jacob fought an angel and won.

Wait for God all the time. ❤️⚖️⏳ 7 A seller uses bad scales. He cheats people. ⚖️❌ 8 The people in Ephraim say, “We are rich now.” They think they did no wrong. 9 God says, I am your God.
