Surely, the time is going to come
when you will be taken away on hooks,
and the rest of you on fishhooks.
3 Each of you will leave ⌞the city⌟
through breaks in the wall, one woman ahead of another.
You will be thrown into a garbage dump.
The Lord declares this.

Go to Gilgal and sin even more.
Bring your sacrifices every morning.
Bring a tenth of your income every three days.
