Jeremiah 13:15-17
Authorized (King James) Version
15 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud:
for the Lord hath spoken.
16 Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness,
and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains,
and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death,
and make it gross darkness.
17 But if ye will not hear it,
my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride;
and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears,
because the Lord’s flock is carried away captive.
Jeremiah 13:15-17

15 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud; for Jehovah hath spoken. 16 Give glory to Jehovah your God, before [a]he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the [b]dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into [c]the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. 17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because Jehovah’s flock is taken captive.
