Jeremiah 13:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ Give glory to the Lord your God
    before he brings darkness,
before your feet stumble on the
    mountains at twilight.
You hope for light,
    but he turns it into deep darkness.
        He changes it into heavy gloom.
¹⁷ If you don’t listen, I’ll cry secretly
    because of your pride.
My eyes will cry bitterly, flowing tears,
    because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.
¹⁸ Say to the king and the queen mother,^[a]
    “Come take a lowly seat,
because your beautiful crowns have fallen off your heads.”
