View Full Chapter

7Be silent before the Sovereign LORD, for the day of the LORD is near. The LORD has prepared a sacrifice; he has consecrated those he has invited.

8“On the day of the LORD ’s sacrifice I will punish the officials and the king’s sons and all those clad in foreign clothes.

9On that day I will punish all who avoid stepping on the threshold, See 1 Samuel 5:5. who fill the temple of their gods with violence and deceit.

10“On that day,” declares the LORD, “a cry will go up from the Fish Gate, wailing from the New Quarter, and a loud crash from the hills.

11Wail, you who live in the market district Or the Mortar ; all your merchants will be wiped out, all who trade with Or in silver will be destroyed.
