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

12And you have said this word to them, || Thus said YHWH, God of Israel: Every bottle is full of wine, || And they have said to you: Do we not certainly know that every bottle is full of wine? 13And you have said to them, || Thus said YHWH: Behold, I am filling all the inhabitants of this land, || And the kings who sit for David on his throne, || And the priests, and the prophets, || And all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, || [With] drunkenness, 14And have dashed them against one another, || And the fathers and the sons together," || A declaration of YHWH, || "I do not pity, nor spare, nor do I have mercy, || So as not to destroy them." 15Hear, and give ear—do not be haughty, || For YHWH has spoken.16Give glory to your God YHWH, || Before He causes darkness, || And before your feet stumble on dark mountains, || And you have waited for light, || And He has made it for death-shade, || And has appointed [it] for thick darkness. 17And if you do not hear it, || My soul weeps in secret places, because of pride, || Indeed, it weeps and wails, || And the tear comes down my eyes, || For the flock of YHWH has been taken captive. 18Say to the king and to the mistress: Make yourselves low—sit still, || For your principalities have come down, || The crown of your beauty. 19The cities of the south have been shut up, || And there is none opening, || Judah has been removed—all of her, || She has been completely removed— 20Lift up your eyes, and see those coming in from the north, || Where [is] the drove given to you, your beautiful flock? 21What do you say when He looks after you? And you have taught them [to be] over you—leaders for head? Do pangs not seize you as a travailing woman?

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.
