Jeremiah 13:15-17
Lexham English Bible
15 Listen, and pay attention,
you must not be haughty, for Yahweh has spoken.
16 Give glory to Yahweh your God before[a] he brings darkness,
and before[b] your feet stumble on the mountains at twilight.
And you will hope for light, but he makes it as gloom,
he makes it[c] as thick darkness.
17 But if you will not listen to it,
my inner self[d] will weep in secret places,
because of the presence of[e] your pride.
And my eyes[f] will weep bitterly,
and they will melt in tears,
because the flock of Yahweh has been taken captive.

Jeremiah 13:15-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Lord’s Warning
15 Listen and pay attention. Do not be proud,
for the Lord has spoken.
16 Give glory to the Lord your God(A)
before He brings darkness,
before your feet stumble
on the mountains at dusk.
You wait for light,
but He brings darkest gloom[a]
and makes thick darkness.
17 But if you will not listen,
my innermost being will weep in secret
because of your pride.
My eyes will overflow with tears,
for the Lord’s flock(B) has been taken captive.
