THE MESSAGE
Then I said, Listen. Listen carefully: Don't stay stuck in your ways! It's God 's Message we're dealing with here. Let your lives glow bright before God before he turns out the lights, Before you trip and fall on the dark mountain paths. The light you always took for granted will go out and the world will turn black. If you people won't listen, I'll go off by myself and weep over you, Weep because of your stubborn arrogance, bitter, bitter tears, Rivers of tears from my eyes, because God 's sheep will end up in exile.
New American Standard Bible (1995)
Listen and give heed, do not be haughty, For the LORD has spoken.

Contextual Overview

12 So you are to tell them, "This is what Adonai the God of Isra'el says: ‘Every bottle is filled with wine.'" Then when they ask you, "Don't we already know that every bottle is filled with wine?" 13 you are to answer them, "This is what Adonai says: ‘I am going to fill all the inhabitants of this land — including the kings sitting on the throne of David, the cohanim, the prophets and the inhabitants of Yerushalayim — with drunkenness. 14 Then I will smash them one against another, even fathers and sons together,' says Adonai ‘I will show neither pity nor compassion, but I will destroy them relentlessly.'"'" 15 Listen and pay attention; don't be proud! For Adonai has spoken. 16 Give glory to Adonai your God before the darkness falls, before your feet stumble on the mountains in the twilight, and, while you are seeking light, he turns it into deathlike shadows and makes it completely dark. 17 But if you will not hear this warning, I will weep secretly because of your pride; my eyes will weep bitterly, streaming with tears, because Adonai 's flock is carried away captive. 18 Tell the king and the queen mother, "Come down from your thrones, for your magnificent crowns are falling from your heads." 19 The cities of the Negev are besieged, and no one can relieve them; all of Y'hudah is carried into exile, completely swept into exile. 20 Raise your eyes, and you will see them coming from the north. Where is the flock once entrusted to you, the sheep that were your pride? 21 When he sets over you as rulers those you trained to be allies, what will you say? Won't pains seize you like those of a woman in labor?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Hear ye, and give ear,.... Both to what goes before, and what follows after. The words doubled denote the closest and strictest attention:

be not proud; haughty, scornful, as above all instruction, and needing no advice and counsel, self-conceited, despising the word of God, and his messages by his prophets; or, "do not lift up yourselves" x; above others, and against God:

for the Lord hath spoken; it is not I, but the Lord; and what he has said shall certainly come to pass; so the Targum,

"for in the word of the Lord it is so decreed;''

it is in vain to oppose him; his counsel shall stand, and he will do all his pleasure; none ever hardened themselves against him, and prospered.

x אל תגבהו "ne elevetis vos", Montanus, Pagninus; "exaltetis", Junius & Tremellius.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Be not proud - Both the symbols were of a nature very humiliating to the national self-respect.
