7 Stand in silence in the presence of the Lord. For the awesome Day of his Judgment has come; he has prepared a great slaughter of his people and has chosen their executioners.[a] 8 “On that Day of Judgment I will punish the leaders and princes of Judah and all others wearing heathen clothing.[b] 9 Yes, I will punish those who follow heathen customs and who rob and kill to fill their masters’ homes with evil gain of violence and fraud.
