Each of you will go out through the breaches of the walls[a]
    straight to Mt. Hermon,”[b]
        declares the Lord.

The Lord’s Rebuke to Israel

“Come to Bethel and sin,
    to Gilgal and sin even more!
Bring along your morning sacrifices,
    and pay your tithes every other day.[c]
While you’re at it,[d] present a thank offering with leaven,
    and publicize your freewill offerings,
letting everyone hear about it,
    because this is what you really love to do, you Israelis,”
        declares the Lord God.
