Zephaniah 1:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

6 and those who turn back from following the LORD, neither seeking the LORD nor inquiring of Him.”

7 Be 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.

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