Jeremiah 13:15-17
English Standard Version
Exile Threatened
15 Hear and give ear; be not proud,
for the Lord has spoken.
16 (A)Give glory to the Lord your God
(B)before he brings darkness,
before your feet stumble
on the twilight mountains,
and (C)while you look for light
he turns it into gloom
and makes it (D)deep darkness.
17 But if you will not listen,
(E)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.
Jeremiah 13:15-17
New Living Translation
A Warning against Pride
15 Listen and pay attention!
Do not be arrogant, for the Lord has spoken.
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.
