Be silent in the presence of the Lord God,(A)
for the Day of the Lord is near.(B)
Indeed, the Lord has prepared a sacrifice;(C)
He has consecrated His guests.(D)

On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice
I will punish the officials, the king’s sons,
and all who are dressed in foreign clothing.
On that day(E) I will punish
all who skip over the threshold,[a](F)
who fill their master’s house
with violence and deceit.
