16 aGive glory to the Lord your God
Before He causes bdarkness,
And before your feet stumble
On the dark mountains,
And while you are clooking for light,
He turns it into dthe shadow of death
And makes it dense darkness.
Before He causes bdarkness,
And before your feet stumble
On the dark mountains,
And while you are clooking for light,
He turns it into dthe shadow of death
And makes it dense darkness.
17 But if you will not hear it,
My soul will aweep in secret for your pride;
My eyes will weep bitterly
And run down with tears,
Because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.
My soul will aweep in secret for your pride;
My eyes will weep bitterly
And run down with tears,
Because the Lord’s flock has been taken captive.

Sit down,
For your rule shall collapse, the crown of your glory.”
19 The cities of the South shall be shut up,
And no one shall open them;
Judah shall be carried away captive, all of it;
It shall be wholly carried away captive.
And no one shall open them;
Judah shall be carried away captive, all of it;
It shall be wholly carried away captive.
20 Lift up your eyes and see
Those who come from the anorth.
Where is the flock that was given to you,
Your beautiful sheep?
Those who come from the anorth.
Where is the flock that was given to you,
Your beautiful sheep?
