Jeremiah 13:16-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶ Honor the Lord your God before he brings darkness,
and before your feet stumble on the mountains at dusk.
You will look for light,
but he will turn it into the shadow of death
and change it into deep darkness.
¹⁷ If you will not listen,
I will cry for you in secret because of your arrogance.
My eyes will weep bitterly and overflow with tears,
because the Lord’s flock will be taken captive.
¹⁸ Say to the king and to the queen mother,
“Come down from your thrones,
because your crowns will fall from your heads.”^[a]
