⁴ Come to Bethel and rebel;
rebel even more at Gilgal!^(I)
Bring your sacrifices every morning,^(J)
your tenths every three days.
⁵ Offer leavened bread as a thanksgiving sacrifice,^(K)
and loudly proclaim your freewill offerings,^(L)
for that is what you Israelites love to do!^(M)
This is the declaration of the Lord God.

⁷ I also withheld the rain from you^(P)
while there were still three months until harvest.
I sent rain on one city
but no rain on another.^(Q)
One field received rain
while a field with no rain withered.^(R)
8 Two or three cities staggered
to another city to drink water^(S)
but were not satisfied,^(T)
yet you did not return^(U) to me.
This is the Lord’s declaration.

⁹ I struck you with blight and mildew;^(V)
the locust devoured^(W)
your many gardens and vineyards,
your fig trees and olive trees,^(X)
yet you did not return to me.^(Y)
This is the Lord’s declaration.

¹⁰ I sent plagues like those of Egypt;^(Z)
I killed your young men with the sword,^(AA)
along with your captured horses.^(AB)
I caused the stench of your camp
to fill your nostrils,^(AC)
yet you did not return to me.^(AD)
This is the Lord’s declaration.

¹¹ I overthrew some of you
as I^[c] overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah,^(AE)
and you were like a burning stick
snatched from a fire,^(AF)
yet you did not return to me^(AG) –
This is the Lord’s declaration.

¹² Therefore, Israel, that is what I will do to you,
and since I will do that to you,
Israel, prepare to meet your God!^(AH)
13 He is here:
the one who forms the mountains,^(AI)
creates the wind,^(AJ)
and reveals his thoughts to man,^(AK)
the one who makes the dawn out of darkness
and strides on the heights of the earth.^(AL)
The Lord, the God of Armies, is his name.^(AM)
