(A)And you shall go out through the breaches,
    each one straight ahead;
    and you shall be cast out into Harmon,”
declares the Lord.

(B)“Come to Bethel, and transgress;
    to (C)Gilgal, and multiply transgression;
(D)bring your (E)sacrifices every morning,
    your tithes every three days;
offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of (F)that which is leavened,
    and proclaim (G)freewill offerings, publish them;
    (H)for so you love to do, O people of Israel!”
declares the Lord God.

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.
