and ye shall go out by the breaches, every one straight before her, and ye shall be cast out to Harmon, saith Jehovah.

Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices in the morning, your tithes every three days,

and burn a thank-offering with leaven, and proclaim, publish, voluntary offerings: for this pleaseth you, children of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah.

You will each go straight out
    through breaches in the wall,(A)
    and you will be cast out toward Harmon,[a]
declares the Lord.
“Go to Bethel(B) and sin;
    go to Gilgal(C) and sin yet more.
Bring your sacrifices every morning,(D)
    your tithes(E) every three years.[b](F)
Burn leavened bread(G) as a thank offering
    and brag about your freewill offerings(H)
boast about them, you Israelites,
    for this is what you love to do,”
declares the Sovereign Lord.
