In Gilgal multiply transgression!
(A)Bring your sacrifices every morning,
Your tithes every three days.

And call for (C)freewill offerings; cause them to be heard about.
For so you (D)love to do, you sons of Israel,”

“But I gave you also (E)cleanness of teeth in all your cities
And lack of bread in all your places,
Yet you have (F)not returned to Me,” declares Yahweh.
