* Hear ye , and give ear , be not lifted up ; for Jehovah hath spoken . * Give glory to Jehovah your God , before he cause darkness , and before your feet stumble upon the mountains of twilight ; and ye shall look for light , but he will turn it into the shadow of death , and make [it ] gross darkness . * And if ye will not hear it , my soul shall weep in secret places for [your ] pride ; and mine eye shall weep sore , and run down with tears , because Jehovah 's flock is gone into captivity . * Say unto the king and to the queen : Humble yourselves , sit down low ; for from your heads shall come down the crown of your magnificence . * The cities of the south are shut up , and there is none to open [them ]; all Judah is carried away captive : it is wholly carried away captive . * Lift up your eyes , and behold them that come from the north . Where is the flock that was given thee , thy beautiful flock ? * What wilt thou say when he shall visit thee , since thou thyself hast trained them to be princes in chief over thee ? Shall not sorrows take thee , as a woman in travail ? * And if thou say in thy heart , Wherefore come these things upon me ? For the greatness of thine iniquity are thy skirts uncovered , [and ] thy heels have suffered violence . * Can an Ethiopian change his skin , or a leopard his spots ? [Then ] may ye also do good , who are accustomed to do evil . * And I will scatter them as stubble that passeth away by the wind of the wilderness . * This shall be thy lot , thy measured portion from me , saith Jehovah ; because thou hast forgotten me , and confided in falsehood . * Therefore will I also turn thy skirts over thy face , and thy shame shall be seen . * Thine adulteries , and thy neighings , the lewdness of thy fornication , on the hills , in the fields , -- thine abominations , have I seen . Woe unto thee , Jerusalem ! Wilt thou not be made clean ? after how long a time yet ?
