Zephaniah 1:6-8
Expanded Bible

6 and those who turned away from the Lord,
    and those who quit following the Lord and ·praying to him for direction [L seeking or inquiring of him].
7 Be silent before the Lord God,
    because the ·Lord’s day for judging people [L day of the Lord; Is. 13:6, 9; Jer. 46:10; Joel 2:1, 11, 31; Amos 5:18–20; Zech. 14:1] is ·coming soon [near].
The Lord has prepared a sacrifice;
    he has ·made holy [consecrated] his invited guests.
8 On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,
    I, the Lord, will punish the ·princes [officials] and the king’s sons
    and all those who wear foreign clothes [C indicating adoption of pagan culture and religion].
