Matthew Poole and continuators on Zephaniah 1:9

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

Not to be taken for a single day, but more largely for that time wherein God would visit and punish.

Insolently, and with rage break open the doors of such whose goods they seise, upon pretence of forfeitures or fines, a sin that Ezekiel both taxed and threatned, chap. 8.17. and 12.19. and 45.9.

Either the oppressing Kings, whose Officers these were, or publick Officers and Judges, whose Servants thus did (to enrich their Masters) spoil the poor, and the oppressed

goods taken away by force, and kept as much against right, as at first taken away without right

by false accusations, and by suborned evidence for proof, and by perjuries.
