15 Hear and give ear:
Do not be proud,
For the Lord has spoken.

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. ‡

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? ‡

21 What will you say when He punishes you?
For you have taught them
To be chieftains, to be head over you.
Will not ^apangs seize you,
Like a woman in¹ labor? ‡
