Jeremiah 13:15-17

Living Bible

¹⁵ Oh, that you were not so proud and stubborn! Then you would listen to the Lord, for he has spoken. ¹⁶ Give glory to the Lord your God before it is too late, before he causes deep, impenetrable darkness to fall upon you so that you stumble and fall upon the dark mountains; then, when you look for light, you will find only terrible darkness. ¹⁷ Do you still refuse to listen? Then in loneliness my breaking heart shall mourn because of your pride. My eyes will overflow with tears because the Lord’s flock shall be carried away as slaves.
