Zephaniah 1:7-9

Amplified Bible

⁷
[Hush!] Be silent before the Lord God [there is no acceptable excuse to offer]!
For the day [of the vengeance] of the Lord is near,
For the Lord has prepared a sacrifice (Judah),
He has set apart [for His use] those who have accepted His invitation [the Chaldeans who rule Babylon].^(A)
⁸
“Then it will come about on the day of the Lord’s sacrifice
That I will punish the princes and the king’s sons
And all who are clothed in [lavish] foreign apparel [reflecting their paganism].^(B)
⁹
“On that day I will also punish all those who ^[a]leap over the temple threshold,
Who fill their [pagan] lord’s temple with violence and deceit.
