10 Who among you fears the Lord
    and obeys his servant?
The person who walks in the dark without light
    should trust in the [L name of the] Lord and depend on his God.
11 ·But instead [or Look; Behold], ·some of you want to [L all of you who] light your own fires
    and make your own light.
So, go, walk in the light of your fires,
    and trust ·your own light to guide you [the torches you have ignited].
But this is what you will receive from ·me [my hand]:
    You will lie down in ·a place of pain [torment; C could refer to physical pain in the present world or to the torment of hell].

10 Who is among you who fears the Lord,
Who obeys the voice of His (A)servant,

Let him (C)trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.
11 Behold, all you who (D)kindle a fire,
Who encircle yourselves with flaming arrows,
Walk in the light of your fire
And among the flaming arrows you have set ablaze.
This you will have from My hand:
You will (E)lie down in torment.
