4–5“Come along to Bethel and sin!

And then to Gilgal and sin some more!

Bring your sacrifices for morning worship.

Every third day bring your tithe.

Burn pure sacrifices—thank offerings.

Speak up—announce freewill offerings!

That’s the sort of religious show

you Israelites just love.”

God’s Decree.

“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!”

declares the Lord God.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

“Go to Bethel and sin;

go to Gilgal and sin yet more.

Bring your sacrifices every morning,

your tithes every three years.

Burn leavened bread as a thank offering

and brag about your freewill offerings—

boast about them, you Israelites,

for this is what you love to do,”

declares the Sovereign Lord.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Come to Bethel and rebel;

rebel even more at Gilgal!

Bring your sacrifices every morning,

your tenths every three days.

Offer leavened bread as a thanksgiving sacrifice,

and loudly proclaim your freewill offerings,

for that is what you Israelites love to do!

This is the declaration of the Lord God.

NLTNew Living Translation

“Go ahead and offer sacrifices to the idols at Bethel.

Keep on disobeying at Gilgal.

Offer sacrifices each morning,

and bring your tithes every three days.

Present your bread made with yeast

as an offering of thanksgiving.

Then give your extra voluntary offerings

so you can brag about it everywhere!

This is the kind of thing you Israelites love to do,”

says the Sovereign Lord.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

“Come to Bethel and transgress; to Gilgal and multiply transgression! Bring your sacrifices in the morning and your tithes on the third day. And bring a thank offering of leavened bread, and proclaim freewill offerings, pronounce them, for so you love to do, O people of Israel,” is the declaration of my Lord Yahweh.

KJV 1900King James Version

Come to Beth-el, and transgress;

At Gilgal multiply transgression;

And bring your sacrifices every morning,

And your tithes after three years:

And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven,

And proclaim and publish the free offerings:

For this liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord God.
