Jeremiah 13:15–17

THE LORD’S WARNING

15 Listen and pay attention. Do not be proud,

for the Lord has spoken.

16 Give glory to the Lord your Godk

before he brings darkness,

before your feet stumble

on the mountains at dusk.

You wait for light,

but he brings darkest gloomC

and makes total darkness.

17 But if you will not listen,

my innermost being will weep in secret

because of your pride.

My eyes will overflow with tears,

for the Lord’s flockl has been taken captive.
