You will go through breaches in the wall,(A)
each woman straight ahead,
and you will be driven along toward Harmon.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

Come to Bethel and rebel;
rebel even more at Gilgal!(B)
Bring your sacrifices every morning,(C)
your tenths every three days.
Offer leavened bread as a thank offering,(D)
and loudly proclaim your freewill offerings,(E)
for that is what you Israelites love to do!(F)
This is the Lord’s declaration.

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.
