And while you are mlooking for light,

He turns it into nthe shadow of death

And makes it dense darkness.

Hear and give ear; be not proud,

for the Lord has spoken.

Give glory to the Lord your God

before he brings darkness,

before your feet stumble

on the twilight mountains,

and while you look for light

he turns it into gloom

and makes it deep darkness.

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Hear and pay attention,

do not be arrogant,

for the Lord has spoken.

Give glory to the Lord your God

before he brings the darkness,

before your feet stumble

on the darkening hills.

You hope for light,

but he will turn it to utter darkness

and change it to deep gloom.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Listen and pay attention. Do not be proud,

for the Lord has spoken.

Give glory to the Lord your God

before he brings darkness,

before your feet stumble

on the mountains at dusk.

You wait for light,

but he brings darkest gloom

and makes total darkness.

NLTNew Living Translation

Listen and pay attention!

Do not be arrogant, for the Lord has spoken.

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.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Listen, and pay attention,

you must not be haughty, for Yahweh has spoken.

Give glory to Yahweh your God before he brings darkness,

and before your feet stumble on the mountains at twilight.

And you will hope for light, but he makes it as gloom,

he makes it as thick darkness.

KJV 1900King James Version

Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the Lord hath spoken. Give glory to the Lord your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.
