Zephaniah 1:6-8
The Voice

6     I will use My power against those who used to worship the Eternal One
        but turned their backs and no longer follow Me.
    They don’t look to Me anymore for help and guidance.

7 Keep quiet now! You are standing before the Eternal Lord
    because the day of the Eternal One is near;
His judgment is coming. He has prepared the sacrifice,
    and He has chosen His guests with care.
8 On the day of the Eternal’s sacrifice,
    this will happen just as He describes:

Eternal One: I will punish the rulers of Judah
        and those born to royalty
    And those so enamored with foreign ways
        that they don’t act or dress like My people anymore.
