16 Give glory to the Lord your God
before it is too late.
Acknowledge him before he brings darkness upon you,
causing you to stumble and fall on the darkening mountains.
For then, when you look for light,
you will find only terrible darkness and gloom.
17 And if you still refuse to listen,
I will weep alone because of your pride.
My eyes will overflow with tears,
because the Lord’s flock will be led away into exile.

before your feet stumble(B)

but he will turn it to utter darkness
and change it to deep gloom.(C)
17 If you do not listen,(D)
I will weep in secret
because of your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly,
overflowing with tears,(E)
because the Lord’s flock(F) will be taken captive.(G)
