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

and before your feet stumble
    on the mountains at twilight;
while you look for light,

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)
