Jeremiah 13:16-18
The Voice
16 It is time to honor the Eternal your God before He makes the darkness fall
and you stumble on the darkening mountains.
You will long for the light,
but He will make the darkness deepen as the gloom settles in.
17 If you still won’t listen, I will weep for you in secret.
From the depths of my soul, I will cry bitter tears,
Because the Eternal’s own flock will be taken captive.
18 Tell the king and the queen mother:
“Come down from your thrones, and take a seat in a humble place,
for your glorious crowns will be taken from you.”
Jeremiah 13:16-18
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)
