15 Listen, and pay attention!
    Don’t be arrogant. Yahweh has spoken.
16 Honor Yahweh your Elohim before it gets dark,
    before your feet stumble on the mountains in the twilight.
    You will look for light,
    but Yahweh will turn it into the shadow of death
        and change it into deep darkness.
17 If you won’t listen,
    I will cry secretly over your arrogance.
    I will cry bitterly, and my eyes will flow with tears
        because Yahweh’s flock will be taken captive.

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

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)

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