[16] Give glory to the LORD your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. [17] But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and mine eye shall weep and run down with tears, because the LORD'S flock is carried away captive. [18] Say unto the king and to the queen, Humble yourselves, sit down: for your principalities shall come down, even the crown of your glory.
