Jeremiah 13:15-17
International Children’s Bible
Threat of Slavery
15 Listen and pay attention.
Don’t be too proud.
The Lord has spoken to you.
16 Honor the Lord your God.
Give him glory before he brings darkness.
Praise him before you fall
on the dark hills.
You hope for light.
But the Lord will turn it into thick darkness.
He will change it into deep gloom.
17 If you don’t listen to the Lord,
I will cry secretly.
Your pride will cause me to cry.
I will cry painfully.
My eyes will overflow with tears.
This is because the Lord’s people will be captured.

do not be arrogant,
for the Lord has spoken.(A)

but he will turn it to utter darkness
and change it to deep gloom.(D)
17 If you do not listen,(E)
I will weep in secret
because of your pride;
my eyes will weep bitterly,
overflowing with tears,(F)
because the Lord’s flock(G) will be taken captive.(H)
