Jeremiah 13:16-18

New Century Version

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.
¹⁷ If you don’t listen to him,
    I will cry secretly
    because of your pride.
I will cry painfully,
    and my eyes will overflow with tears,
    because the Lord’s people will be captured.
