10 Who among you fears the Lord,[a]
    heeds his servant’s voice?
Whoever walk in darkness,
    without any light,
Yet trust in the name of the Lord
    and rely upon their God!(A)
11 All you who kindle flames
    and set flares alight,
Walk by the light of your own fire
    and by the flares you have burnt!
This is your fate from my hand:
    you shall lie down in a place of torment.

  1. 50:10–11 The Lord offers a choice to those who walk in darkness: either trust in the true light (v. 10), or walk in their false light and suffer the consequences.

    who has no light,(D)

    and rely on their God.
11 But now, all you who light fires
    and provide yourselves with flaming torches,(F)
go, walk in the light of your fires(G)
    and of the torches you have set ablaze.
This is what you shall receive from my hand:(H)
    You will lie down in torment.(I)
