Exile Threatened

15 Hear and give ear; do not be haughty,
    for the Lord has spoken.(A)
16 Give glory to the Lord your God
    before he brings darkness
and before your feet stumble
    on the mountains at twilight;
while you look for light,
    he turns it into gloom
    and makes it deep darkness.(B)
17 But if you will not listen,
    my soul will weep in secret for your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears
    because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.(C)

15 Listen and pay attention, 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 mountains in the dark,
And while you are hoping for light
He makes it into (E)gloom,
And turns it into thick darkness.
17 But (F)if you do not listen to it,
My soul will (G)weep in secret for such pride;
And my eyes will shed
And stream down tears,
Because the (H)flock of the Lord has been taken captive.

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)
