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.

The verse 16 is found in chapter 13 of Jeremiah. The jars filled with wine symbolize a society that will be made drunk by judgment. Jeremiah calls the king, priests, and people to humble themselves before darkness arrives. The image of the woman exposed because of her unfaithfulness again represents idolatry as spiritual adultery and announces public humiliation.

Gebet dem HERRN, eurem Gott, die Ehre, ehe denn es finster werde, und ehe eure Füße sich an den dunklen Bergen stoßen, daß ihr des Lichts wartet, so er's doch gar finster und dunkel machen wird.
Dad gloria a Jehová Dios vuestro, antes que haga venir tinieblas, y antes que vuestros pies tropiecen en montes de oscuridad, y esperéis luz, y os la torne sombra de muerte y tinieblas.
Den gloria a Jehová su Dios antes de que traiga oscuridad, antes de que sus pies tropiecen en los montes envueltos en penumbra. Mientras esperan la luz, él la convertirá en profundas tinieblas, la transformará en densa oscuridad.
Rendez gloire à l'Eternel, votre Dieu, Avant qu'il fasse venir les ténèbres, Avant que vos pieds heurtent contre les montagnes de la nuit; Vous attendrez la lumière, Et il la changera en ombre de la mort, Il la réduira en obscurité profonde.
Date gloria al Signore Iddio vostro, avanti ch’egli faccia venir le tenebre, e avanti che i vostri piedi s’intoppino sopra i monti di oscurità, e che voi aspettiate la luce, e ch’egli l’abbia cangiata in ombra di morte, e mutata in oscurità.
Dai glória ao SENHOR vosso Deus, antes que venha a escuridão e antes que tropecem vossos pés nos montes tenebrosos; antes que, esperando vós luz, ele a mude em sombra de morte, e a reduza à escuridão.
當耶和華-你們的上帝 尚未使黑暗來臨, 在昏暗的山上 你們的腳未絆跌以前, 要將榮耀歸給他。 你們盼望光明, 他卻使光明變為死蔭, 成為幽暗。
