Zephaniah 1:7-9
New Catholic Bible

7 Keep silent in the presence of the Lord God,
    for the day of the Lord is near.
The Lord has prepared a 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 those who clothe themselves in foreign apparel.
9 On that day I will punish
    all who leap over the threshold[a]
and fill the house of their master
    with violence and deceit.

  1. Zephaniah 1:9 Over the threshold: the avoidance of stepping on the threshold is probably connected with the “rite of the threshold”: that is, of entering and leaving the temple without setting one’s foot on the threshold.
