Zephaniah 1:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 And it shall be in the day of the Lord’s sacrifice, that I will visit the princes and the king’s children, and all such as are clothed with [a]strange apparel.
9 In the same day also will I visit all those that [b]dance upon the threshold so proudly, which fill their masters’ houses by cruelty and deceit.
10 And in that day, saith the Lord, there shall be a noise, and cry from the [c]fish gate, and an howling from the second gate, and a great destruction from the hills.
