3 You shall go out through the breached wallsone in front of the other,And you shall be exiled to Harmon—oracle of the Lord.
4 Come to Bethel and sin,to Gilgal and sin all the more!Each morning bring your sacrifices,every third day your tithes;
5 Burn leavened bread as a thanksgiving sacrifice,proclaim publicly your voluntary offerings,For so you love to do, Israelites—oracle of the Lord God.
6 Though I made your teethclean of food in all your cities,and made bread scarce in all your dwellings,Yet you did not return to me—oracle of the Lord.
7 And I withheld the rain from youwhen the harvest was still three months away;I sent rain upon one citybut not upon another;One field was watered by rain,but the one I did not water dried up;
8 Two or three cities staggered to another to drink waterbut were not satisfied;Yet you did not return to me—oracle of the Lord.
9 I struck you with blight and mildew;locusts devoured your gardens and vineyards,the caterpillar consumed your fig trees and olive trees;Yet you did not return to me—oracle of the Lord.
