* Hear and give ear ; do not be proud , for Jehovah has spoken . * Give glory to Jehovah your God before He brings darkness , and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains . Yea , while you look for light , He puts it into death shade , setting up deep gloom . * But if you will not hear it , my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride . And my eye shall bitterly weep and run down with tears , because the flock of Jehovah was captured . * Say to the king and to the queen mother , Humble yourselves , sit down . For the crown of your glory will come down from your head places . * The cities of the south have been shut up , and none are opening . Judah has been exiled ; all of it has been peacefully exiled . * Lift up your eyes and behold those who come from the north . Where is the flock that was given to you , your beautiful flock ? * What will you say when He visits you ? For you taught them to be rulers over you for a head . Do not pangs seize you like a woman in travail ? * And if you say in your heart , Why do these things come upon me ? It is because of the greatness of your iniquity . Your skirts are bared ; your heels suffer violence . * Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard his spots ? Then you also may do good who are accustomed to doing evil . * And I will scatter them as the stubble that passes away to the wilderness wind . * This is your lot , the share of your measure from Me , declares Jehovah , because you have forgotten Me and have trusted in falsehood . * So I also have stripped off your skirts over your face , that your shame may appear . * I have seen your adulteries and your neighings , the plot of your infidelity , your abominations on the hills , in the fields . Woe to you , O Jerusalem ! Will you not be made clean ? Now long will it still be ?
