15 Hear, and give ear.
    Don’t be proud,
    for Yahweh has spoken.
16 Give glory to Yahweh your God,
    before he causes darkness,
    and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains,
and while you look for light,
    he turns it into the shadow of death,
    and makes it deep darkness.
17 But if you will not hear it,
    my soul will weep in secret for your pride.
My eye will weep bitterly,
    and run down with tears,
    because Yahweh’s flock has been taken captive.

15 Listen and pay attention![a]
    Don’t be proud, for the Lord has spoken.
16 Give glory to the Lord your God
    before he brings darkness,
before your feet stumble on the
    mountains at twilight.
You hope for light,
    but he turns it into deep darkness.
        He changes it into heavy gloom.
17 If you don’t listen, I’ll cry secretly
    because of your pride.
My eyes will cry bitterly, flowing tears,
    because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.
