* "
Come to Bethel ,
and transgress ;
to Gilgal ,
and multiply transgression ;
bring your sacrifices every morning ,
your tithes every three days ;
*
offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving of that which is leavened ,
and proclaim freewill offerings ,
publish them ;
for so you love to do ,
O people of Israel !"
says the Lord GOD .
* "
I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities ,
and lack of bread in all your places ,
yet you did not return to me ,"
says the LORD .
* "
And I also withheld the rain from you when there were yet three months to the harvest ;
I would send rain upon one city ,
and send no rain upon another city ;
one field would be rained upon ,
and the field on which it did not rain withered ;
*
so two or three cities wandered to one city to drink water ,
and were not satisfied ;
yet you did not return to me ,"
says the LORD .
* "
I smote you with blight and mildew ;
I laid waste your gardens and your vineyards ;
your fig trees and your olive trees the locust devoured ;
yet you did not return to me ,"
says the LORD .
