Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:

Though thou, Israel, play the harlot, yet let not Judah offend; and come not ye unto Gilgal, neither go ye up to Bethaven, nor swear, The LORD liveth.

All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.

Therefore shall a tumult arise among thy people, and all thy fortresses shall be spoiled, as Shalman spoiled Betharbel in the day of battle: the mother was dashed in pieces upon her children.

So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.

Is there iniquity in Gilead? surely they are vanity: they sacrifice bullocks in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the fields.

They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.

The high places also of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed: the thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us.

So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.

They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.

The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

Take counsel together, and it shall come to nought; speak the word, and it shall not stand: for God is with us.

For the terrible one is brought to nought, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:

And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought:
