Pride Precedes Captivity

15 Hear and give ear:
Do not be proud,

And before your feet stumble
On the dark mountains,
And while you are (C)looking for light,
He turns it into (D)the shadow of death
And makes it dense darkness.

My eyes will weep bitterly
And run down with tears,
Because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.
