‘Go to Bethel and sin;
    go to Gilgal and sin yet more.
Bring your sacrifices every morning,
    your tithes every three years.[a]
Burn leavened bread as a thank-offering
    and brag about your freewill offerings –
boast about them, you Israelites,
    for this is what you love to do,’
declares the Sovereign Lord.

‘I gave you empty stomachs in every city
    and lack of bread in every town,
    yet you have not returned to me,’
declares the Lord.
