Gilead is a city of workers of iniquity, Slippery from blood.

And now their sins are increased; they have made themselves a metal image, false gods from their silver, after their designs, all of them the work of the metal-workers; they say of them, Let them give offerings, let men give kisses to the oxen.

All their evil is in Gilgal, Surely there I have hated them, Because of the evil of their doings, Out of My house I do drive them, I add not to love them, all their heads are apostates.

O Israel, you have done evil from the days of Gibeah; there they took up their position, so that the fighting against the children of evil might not overtake them in Gibeah.

And they do not say to their heart, That all their evil I have remembered, Now compassed them have their doings, Over-against My face they have been.

And I instructed -- I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
