Amos 4:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Come to [a]Bethel, and transgress: to Gilgal, and multiply transgression, and bring your sacrifices in the morning, and your riches after three [b]years.
5 And offer a thanksgiving [c]of leaven, publish and proclaim the free offerings: for this [d]liketh you, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord God.
6 And therefore have I given you [e]cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and scarceness of bread in all your places, yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.
