Zephaniah 1:7-9
Modern English Version

7 Be silent before the Lord God!
    For the day of the Lord is at hand;
the Lord has prepared the sacrifice;
    He has consecrated His guests.

8 On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,
    I will punish the officials
    and the king’s sons,
and all who clothe themselves
    with foreign attire.
9 On that day I will punish
    all who step over the threshold,
who fill their masters’ houses
    with violence and deceit.
