[a](A)Be silent before the Lord [b]God!
For the (B)day of the Lord is near,
Because the Lord has prepared a (C)sacrifice,
He has (D)consecrated His guests.
“Then it will come about on the day of the Lords sacrifice
That I will (E)punish the princes, the king’s sons,
And all who clothe themselves with (F)foreign garments.
And on that day I will punish all who leap on the temple threshold,
Who fill the house of their [c]lord with (G)violence and deceit.
