15 Listen and give heed, do not be (A)haughty,
For the Lord has spoken.
16 (B)Give glory to the Lord your God,
Before He brings (C)darkness
And before your (D)feet stumble
On the dusky mountains,
And while you are hoping for light
He makes it into (E)deep darkness,
And turns it into gloom.
17 But (F)if you will not listen to it,
My soul will (G)sob in secret for such pride;
And my eyes will bitterly weep
And flow down with tears,
Because the (H)flock of the Lord has been taken captive.

15 Hear and pay attention,
    do not be arrogant,
    for the Lord has spoken.(A)
16 Give glory(B) to the Lord your God

before your feet stumble(C)

    but he will turn it to utter darkness
    and change it to deep gloom.(D)
17 If you do not listen,(E)

    because of your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly,
    overflowing with tears,(F)
    because the Lord’s flock(G) will be taken captive.(H)
