(A)You will go out through broken walls,
Each one straight ahead of her,
And you will [a]be cast into Harmon,”
Says the Lord.

“Come(B) to Bethel and transgress,
At (C)Gilgal multiply transgression;
(D)Bring your sacrifices every morning,
(E)Your tithes every three [b]days.
(F)Offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven,
Proclaim and announce (G)the freewill offerings;
For this you love,
You children of Israel!”
Says 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.
