Jeremiah 13:15-20 - The Lord's Warning

¹⁵ Hear, and give ear -- be not haughty, For Jehovah hath spoken. ¹⁶ Give ye to Jehovah your God honour, Before He doth cause darkness, And before your feet stumble on dark mountains, And ye have waited for light, And He hath made it for death-shade, And hath appointed it for thick darkness. ¹⁷ And if ye do not hear it, In secret places doth my soul weep, because of pride, Yea, it weepeth sore, And the tear cometh down mine eyes, For the flock of Jehovah hath been taken captive.

¹⁸ Say to the king and to the mistress: Make yourselves low -- sit still, For come down have your principalities, The crown of your beauty. ¹⁹ The cities of the south have been shut up, And there is none opening, Judah hath been removed -- all of her, She hath been removed completely -- ²⁰ Lift up your eyes, and see those coming in from the north, Where is the drove given to thee, thy beautiful flock?
