Jeremiah 13:15-17
New American Standard Bible
15 Listen and pay attention, do not be (A)haughty;
For the Lord has spoken.
16 (B)Give glory to the Lord your God
Before He brings (C)darkness
And before your (D)feet stumble
On the mountains in the dark,
And while you are hoping for light
He makes it into (E)gloom,
And turns it into thick darkness.
17 But (F)if you do not listen to it,
My soul will (G)weep in secret for such pride;
And my eyes will shed
And stream down tears,
Because the (H)flock of the Lord has been taken captive.
Jeremiah 13:15-17
American Standard Version
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.
