Yahweh is talking about Judah and Israel.

may Judah not become guilty

God is recognizing how sinful Israel has become and doesn't want Judah to do the same thing. (UDB) (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

Do not go to Gilgal, you people; do not go up to Beth Aven.

The people of Judah are being warned not to go to Gilgal or Beth Aven to worship idols in those two places. Gilgal was once a holy place, but now it had become a place of idol worship.

like a stubborn heifer

Israel is compared to a young cow that kicks and has to be tied up, rather than be let free to graze in the pasture. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)

How can Yahweh bring them to pasture like lambs in a meadow?

When Yahweh allows Israel to be free, they turn to the worship of idols. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
