Zephaniah 1:7-11

[7] Hold thy peace  at the presence  of the Lord  GOD:  for the day  of the LORD  is at hand:  for the LORD  hath prepared  a sacrifice,  he hath bid  his guests.  [8] And it shall come to pass in the day  of the LORD'S  sacrifice,  that I will punish  the princes,  and the king's  children,  and all such as are clothed  with strange  apparel.  [9] In the same day  also will I punish  all those that leap  on the threshold,  which fill  their masters'  houses  with violence  and deceit.  [10] And it shall come to pass in that day,  saith  the LORD,  that there shall be the noise  of a cry  from the fish  gate,  and an howling  from the second,  and a great  crashing  from the hills.  [11] Howl,  ye inhabitants  of Maktesh,  for all the merchant  people  are cut down;  all they that bear  silver  are cut off.
