Zephaniah 1:7-9
1599 Geneva Bible
7 Be still at the presence of the Lord God: for the day of the Lord is at hand: for the Lord hath prepared a sacrifice, and hath sanctified his guests.
8 And it shall be in the day of the Lord’s sacrifice, that I will visit the princes and the king’s children, and all such as are clothed with [a]strange apparel.
9 In the same day also will I visit all those that [b]dance upon the threshold so proudly, which fill their masters’ houses by cruelty and deceit.
