4. Come to Bethel—and commit a crime;multiply crimes at Gilgal.Bring your sacrifices every morning,your tenth-part gifts every three days.
5. Offer a thanksgiving sacrifice of leavened bread,and publicize your gifts to the Lord;for so you love to do, people of Israel!says the Lord God.
6. I have sent a famine in all your cities,and not provided enough bread in all your places,yet you didn’t return to me,says the Lord.
7. I also withheld rain from youwhen there were still three months to the harvest.I allowed no rain to fall on one city,no rain to fall on another city.One field was rained on,and the field dried up where it didn’t rain.
8. So two or three thirsty towns went to one city to drink water, and weren’t satisfied;yet you didn’t return to me,says the Lord.
