¡Silencio ante el Señor omnipotente,
    porque cercano está el día del Señor;
ha preparado el Señor un sacrificio
    y ha purificado a sus invitados!
En el día del sacrificio del Señor
    castigaré a los funcionarios y oficiales del rey,
    y a cuantos se visten según modas extrañas.
En aquel día castigaré
    a cuantos evitan pisar el umbral,[a]
a los que llenan de violencia y engaño
    la casa de sus dioses.[b]

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.

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.

In the same day also will I punish all those that leap on the threshold, which fill their masters' houses with violence and deceit.

“And it shall be,
In the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,
That I will punish (D)the princes and the king’s children,
And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.
In the same day I will punish
All those who (E)leap over the threshold,
Who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.
