Jeremiah 13:16

The Linen Loincloth

¹⁵ Listen and pay attention. Do not be proud,
for the Lord has spoken.
¹⁶ Give glory to the Lord your God
before He brings darkness,
before your feet stumble
on the mountains at dusk.
You wait for light,
but He brings darkest gloom
and makes thick darkness.
¹⁷ But if you will not listen,
my innermost being will weep in secret
because of your pride.
My eyes will overflow with tears,
for the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.
