Open this scene in the reader →

4Come to Bethel—and transgress; to Gilgal—and multiply transgression. Bring your sacrifices every morning, your tithes every three days,

5And burn a thank offering from leavened bread, and proclaim freewill offerings—announce them! For this is what you have loved, O sons of Israel, declares the Lord GOD.
