15Hear, and give ear -- be not haughty, For Jehovah hath spoken.
16Give 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.
17And 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.
18Say to the king and to the mistress: Make yourselves low -- sit still, For come down have your principalities, The crown of your beauty.
19The 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 --
20Lift up your eyes, and see those coming in from the north, Where [is] the drove given to thee, thy beautiful flock?
21What dost thou say, when He looketh after thee? And thou -- thou hast taught them [to be] over thee -- leaders for head? Do not pangs seize thee as a travailing woman?
