You will go out through the broken-down walls.
    Each woman will go straight ahead,
    and you will be thrown out[a] toward Harmon,[b]
    declares the Lord.

Go to Bethel and rebel.
    Rebel even more at Gilgal.
    Bring your sacrifices every morning,
    your tithes every third day.
Burn some leavened bread as a thank offering,
    and proclaim voluntary offerings—announce them!
    For you love to do this, you people of Israel,
    says the Lord God.
