In the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,
That I will punish athe princes and the king’s children,
And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.
In the day of the Lord’s sacrifice,
That I will punish athe princes and the king’s children,
And all such as are clothed with foreign apparel.

All those who aleap over the threshold,
Who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.
All those who aleap over the threshold,
Who fill their masters’ houses with violence and deceit.
