16 Give glory to the Lord your God,
    before He causes darkness
and before your feet stumble
    on the dark mountains,
and while you look for light,
    He turns it into the shadow of death
    and makes it gross darkness.
17 But if you will not listen to it,
    my soul will weep in secret places
    for your pride;
and my eyes will weep sorely
    and run down with tears,
    because the flock of the Lord is carried away captive.

18 Say to the king and to the queen mother:
    “Humble yourselves, sit down,
for your beautiful crown
    shall come down from your head.”
