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.

    on the mountains at twilight;
while you look for light,
    he turns it into gloom
    and makes it deep darkness.(B)

    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)
