Jeremiah 13:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ Give ye glory to the Lord your God, before it be dark, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains: you shall look for light, and he will turn it into the shadow of death, and into darkness.

¹⁷ But if you will not hear this, my soul shall weep in secret for your pride: weeping it shall weep, and my eyes shall run down the tears, because the flock of the Lord is carried away captive.

¹⁸ Say to the king, and to the queen: Humble yourselves, sit down: for the crown of your glory is come down from your head.
