2The Lord has an accusation to bring against the people of Judah; he is also going to punish Israel for the way her people act. He will pay them back for what they have done. 3*Their ancestor Jacob struggled with his twin brother Esau while the two of them were still in their mother’s womb; when Jacob grew up, he fought against God- 4*he fought against an angel and won. He wept and asked for a blessing. And at Bethel God came to our ancestor Jacob and spoke with him.l 5This was the Lord God Almighty—the Lord is the name by which he is to be worshipped. 6So now, descendants of Jacob, trust in your God and return to him. Be loyal and just, and wait patiently for your God to act.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
The Lord has an indictment against Judah
and will punish Jacob according to his ways;
he will repay him according to his deeds.
In the womb he took his brother by the heel,
and in his manhood he strove with God.
He strove with the angel and prevailed;
he wept and sought his favor.
He met God at Bethel,
and there God spoke with us—
the Lord, the God of hosts,
the Lord is his memorial name:
“So you, by the help of your God, return,
hold fast to love and justice,
and wait continually for your God.”

NIVNew International Version (2011)
The Lord has a charge to bring against Judah;
he will punish Jacob according to his ways
and repay him according to his deeds.
In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel;
as a man he struggled with God.
He struggled with the angel and overcame him;
he wept and begged for his favor.
He found him at Bethel
and talked with him there—
the Lord God Almighty,
the Lord is his name!
But you must return to your God;
maintain love and justice,
and wait for your God always.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
The Lord also has a dispute with Judah.
He is about to punish Jacob according to his conduct;
he will repay him based on his actions.
In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel,
and as an adult he wrestled with God.
Jacob struggled with the angel and prevailed;
he wept and sought his favor.
He found him at Bethel,
and there he spoke with him.
The Lord is the God of Armies;
the Lord is his name.
But you must return to your God.
Maintain love and justice,
and always put your hope in God.

NLTNew Living Translation
Now the Lord is bringing charges against Judah.
He is about to punish Jacob for all his deceitful ways,
and pay him back for all he has done.
Even in the womb,
Jacob struggled with his brother;
when he became a man,
he even fought with God.
Yes, he wrestled with the angel and won.
He wept and pleaded for a blessing from him.
There at Bethel he met God face to face,
and God spoke to him—
the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies,
the Lord is his name!
So now, come back to your God.
Act with love and justice,
and always depend on him.

Yahweh has a quarrel with Judah
and will punish Jacob according to his ways
and repay him according to his deeds.
In the womb he deceived his brother,
and in his manhood he struggled with God.
He struggled with the angel and prevailed;
he pleaded for his mercy.
He met him at Bethel,
and there he spoke with him.
Yahweh the God of hosts,
Yahweh is his renowned name!
But you, you must return to your God;
keep love and justice,
and wait continually for your God.

KJV 1900King James Version
The Lord hath also a controversy with Judah,
And will punish Jacob according to his ways;
According to his doings will he recompense him.
He took his brother by the heel in the womb,
And by his strength he had power with God:
Yea, he had power over the angel, and prevailed:
He wept, and made supplication unto him:
He found him in Beth-el, and there he spake with us;
Even the Lord God of hosts; the Lord is his memorial.
Therefore turn thou to thy God:
Keep mercy and judgment,
And wait on thy God continually.
