Jeremiah 13:15-17

Contemporary English Version

¹⁵ People of Judah,
don't be too proud to listen
    to what the Lord has said.
¹⁶ You hope for light,
    but God is sending darkness.
Evening shadows already deepen
    in the hills.
So return to God
and confess your sins to him
    before you trip and fall.
¹⁷ If you are too proud to listen,
    I will weep alone.
Tears will stream from my eyes
when the Lord's people
    are taken away as prisoners.
