Hosea 12:5

Sin

3 In the womb he grasped his brother’s heel, and in his vigor he wrestled with God.

4 Yes, he struggled with the angel and prevailed; he wept and sought His favor; he found Him at Bethel and spoke with Him there —

the LORD is the God of Hosts— the LORD is His name of renown.

6 But you must return to your God, maintaining love and justice, and always waiting on your God.

7 A merchant loves to defraud with dishonest scales in his hands.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
