Zephaniah 1:7

Hold thy peace at the presence of the Lords God - has , the same as hush, hist, among us. Remonstrances are now useless. You had time to acquaint yourselves with God; you would not: you cry now in vain; destruction is at the door.

The Lord hath prepared a sacrifice - A slaughter of the people.

He hath bid his guests - The Babylonians, to whom he has given a commission to destroy you. In all festivals sacrifices,

1.The victims were offered to God, and their blood poured out before the altar.

2.The people who were invited feasted upon the sacrifice. See on Isaiah 34:6 (note).
