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.

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.
