Juliet makes no threats. She has two lines and only two when her father is in the room with her.
Juliet: Not proud you have, but thankful that you have;
Proud can I never be of what I hate,
But thankful even for hate, that is meant love.
Juliet: Good father, I beseech you on my knees,
Hear me with patience but to speak a word.
Since when is it a threat to say "I'm begging you on my knees; let me speak"? Far from threatening, Juliet is contrite. She cannot marry Paris without committing bigamy, but she couches her refusal to marry him in as polite terms as she can, saying that she thanks him for making the arrangements for a marriage, knowing that it was done from love for her, but that she cannot be proud to be Paris's wife because she hates him and won't marry him.
It is Capulet and only Capulet who threatens in this scene, and he is very rough with Juliet (in many productions physically so):
Capulet: An you be mine, I'll give you to my friend;
An you be not, hang beg, starve, die in the streets,
For by my soul I'll ne'er acknowledge thee,
Nor what is mine shall never do thee good.
Trust to't, bethink you: I'll not be forsworn
The key to his outrageous behaviour is in the last line: he has promised Paris that Juliet will marry him, has sworn it, and how can he now go back to Paris and welsh on that promise? He'd look a right chump. His pride can't accept it: he would rather beat up on Juliet than be shamed in front of Paris.
Check out Damian Lewis's performance as Capulet in this scene (from the 2013 movie): it's brilliant.
