The Sinfulness of Strange Apparel
Zephaniah 1:8
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…


I. THE CRIMINALS. Consider the principals, and the accessaries.

II. THE CRIME. Either wearing exotic and foreign apparel, or such as they had newly invented among themselves.

III. THE PUNISHMENT. This is indefinitely expressed. How, in what way, degree, or measure, He will punish, He reserves to Himself.

(Vincent Alsop, A. M.)
