Zephaniah 1:7-13

7Be silent in the presence of the Lord God, for the day of the Lord is near. Indeed, the Lord has prepared a sacrifice; he has consecrated his guests.

8On the day of the Lord’s sacrifice I will punish the officials, the king’s sons, and all who are dressed in foreign clothing.

9On that day I will punish all who skip over the threshold, who fill their master’s house with violence and deceit.

10On that day — this is the Lord’s declaration — there will be an outcry from the Fish Gate, a wailing from the Second District, and a loud crashing from the hills.

11Wail, you residents of the Hollow, for all the merchants will be silenced; all those loaded with silver will be cut off.

12And at that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps and punish those who settle down comfortably, who say to themselves: The Lord will do nothing — good or bad.

13Their wealth will become plunder and their houses a ruin. They will build houses but never live in them, plant vineyards but never drink their wine.
