| be not proud--Pride was the cause of their contumacy, as humility is the first step to obedience (Jer 13:17; Psa 10:4). |

| With this threatening the prophet couples a solemn exhortation not to leave the word of the Lord unheeded in their pride, but to give God the glory, ere judgment fall on them. To give God the glory is, in this connection, to acknowledge His glory by confession of apostasy from Him and by returning to Him in sincere repentance; cf. Jos 7:19; Mal 2:2. "Your God," who has attested Himself to you as God. The Hiph. יחשׁך is not used intransitively, either here or in Psa 139:12, but transitively: before He brings or makes darkness; cf. Amo 8:9. Mountains of dusk, i.e., mountains shrouded in dusk, are the emblem of unseen stumbling-blocks, on which one stumbles and falls. Light and darkness are well-known emblems of prosperity and adversity, welfare and misery. The suffix in שׂמהּ goes with אור, which is construed feminine here as in Job 36:32. Shadow of death = deep darkness; ערפל, cloudy night, i.e., dark night. The Chet. ישׁית is imperf., and to be read ישׁית; the Keri ושׁית is uncalled for and incorrect. |

17 But if ye will not hear [08085] it, my soul [05315] shall weep [01058] in secret places [04565] for [06440] your pride [01466]; and mine eye [05869] shall weep [01830] sore [01830], and run down [03381] with tears [01832], because the LORD'S [03068] flock [05739] is carried away captive [07617].
32 With clouds [03709] he covereth [03680] the light [0216]; and commandeth [06680] it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt [06293].
9 And it shall come to pass in that day [03117], saith [05002] the Lord [0136] GOD [03069], that I will cause the sun [08121] to go down [0935] at noon [06672], and I will darken [02821] the earth [0776] in the clear [0216] day [03117]:
12 Yea, the darkness [02822] hideth [02821] not from thee; but the night [03915] shineth [0215] as the day [03117]: the darkness [02825] and the light [0219] are both alike to thee.
