Jeremiah 13:16-18
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
16 Give glory to the Lord your God
before he brings darkness,
and before your feet stumble
on the mountains at twilight;
while you look for light,
he turns it into gloom
and makes it deep darkness.
17 But if you will not listen,
my soul will weep in secret for your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly and run down with tears,
because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.
18 Say to the king and the queen mother:
‘Take a lowly seat,
for your beautiful crown
has come down from your head.’[a]
