Threat of Captivity
15 Hear and pay attention,
do not be arrogant,
for the Lord has spoken.(A)

before he brings the darkness,
before your feet stumble(C)
on the darkening hills.
You hope for light,
but he will turn it to utter darkness
and change it to deep gloom.(D)
17 If you do not listen,(E)
I will weep in secret
because of your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly,
overflowing with tears,(F)
because the Lord’s flock(G) will be taken captive.(H)
