Jeremiah 13:16

The Linen Loincloth

¹⁵ Listen and give heed, do not be haughty,
For the Lord has spoken.
¹⁶ Give glory to the Lord your God,
Before He brings darkness
And before your feet stumble
On the dusky mountains,
And while you are hoping for light
He makes it into deep darkness,
And turns it into gloom.
¹⁷ But if you will not listen to it,
My soul will sob in secret for such pride;
And my eyes will bitterly weep
And flow down with tears,
Because the flock of the Lord has been taken captive.
