15 Hear and pay attention,

do not be arrogant,

for the Lord has spoken.

16 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.

15 Hear and give ear; be not proud,

for the Lord has spoken.

16 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.

15 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud: for the Lord hath spoken. 16 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.

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.

15 Listen and pay attention.

Don’t be too proud,

because the Lord has spoken to you.

16 Give glory to the Lord your God

before he brings darkness

and before you slip and fall

on the dark hills.

You hope for light,

but he will turn it into thick darkness;

he will change it into deep gloom.

15 Hear ye, and give ear; be not proud; for Jehovah hath spoken. 16 Give glory to Jehovah 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.

15 Hear ye, and give ear, be not lifted up; for Jehovah hath spoken. 16 Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the mountains of twilight; and ye shall look for light, but he will turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness.

15 Listen, and pay attention! 

Don’t be arrogant. The Lord has spoken. 

16 Honor the Lord your God before it gets dark, 

before your feet stumble on the mountains in the twilight. 

You will look for light, 

but the Lord will turn it into the shadow of death 

and change it into deep darkness. 

15 Listen and pay attention. Do not be proud,

for the Lord has spoken.

16 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 thick darkness.

15 Hear and give ear; do not be haughty,

for the Lord has spoken.

16 Give glory to the Lord your God

before he brings darkness,

and before your feet stumble

on the mountains at twilight;

while you look for light,

he turns it into gloom

and makes it deep darkness.

15 Listen, and pay attention,

you must not be haughty, for Yahweh has spoken.

16 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.

15 People of Judah, listen to me.

Pay attention. Don’t be proud.

The Lord has spoken.

16 Give glory to the Lord your God.

Honor him before he sends

darkness to cover the land.

Do it before you trip and fall

on the darkened hills.

You hope that light will come.

But he will turn it into thick darkness.

He will change it to deep shadows.

15 Listen and give heed, do not be haughty,

For the Lord has spoken.

16 Give glory to the Lord your God,

Before He brings darkness

And before your feet stumble

On the dusky mountains,

And while you are hoping for light

He makes it into deep darkness,

And turns it into gloom.
