Jeremiah 13:16-18
Lexham English Bible
16 Give glory to Yahweh your God before[a] he brings darkness,
and before[b] your feet stumble on the mountains at twilight.
And you will hope for light, but he makes it as gloom,
he makes it[c] as thick darkness.
17 But if you will not listen to it,
my inner self[d] will weep in secret places,
because of the presence of[e] your pride.
And my eyes[f] will weep bitterly,
and they will melt in tears,
because the flock of Yahweh has been taken captive.
A Message for the King and the Queen Mother
18 “Say to the king and to the queen mother, ‘Take a lower seat,[g]
for your beautiful crown[h] has come down from your head.’[i]
