You will each go straight out
    through breaches in the wall,
    and you will be cast out towards Harmon,’[a]
declares the Lord.
‘Go to Bethel and sin;
    go to Gilgal and sin yet more.
Bring your sacrifices every morning,
    your tithes every three years.[b]
Burn leavened bread as a thank-offering
    and brag about your freewill offerings –
boast about them, you Israelites,
    for this is what you love to do,’
declares the Sovereign Lord.
