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.
