Jeremiah 13:16-18
American Standard Version
16 Give glory to Jehovah your God, before [a]he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the [b]dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into [c]the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. 17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride; and mine eye shall weep sore, and run down with tears, because Jehovah’s flock is taken captive.
18 Say thou unto the king and to the queen-mother, [d]Humble yourselves, sit down; for your headtires are come down, even [e]the crown of your glory.

New International Version
16 Give glory(A) to the Lord your God
before he brings the darkness,
before your feet stumble(B)
on the darkening hills.
You hope for light,
but he will turn it to utter darkness
and change it to deep gloom.(C)
17 If you do not listen,(D)
I will weep in secret
because of your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly,
overflowing with tears,(E)
because the Lord’s flock(F) will be taken captive.(G)
