And [by] breaches ye go forth, A woman [at that] over-against her, And ye have cast down the high place, An affirmation of Jehovah.

Enter ye Beth-El, and transgress, At Gilgal multiply transgression, And bring in every morning your sacrifices, Every third year your tithes.

And perfume with leaven a thank-offering, And proclaim willing gifts, sound ye! For so ye have loved, O sons of Israel, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

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.
