10 Who among you fears the Lord,
listening to the voice of His Servant?(A)
Who among you walks in darkness,
and has no light?
Let him trust in the name of Yahweh;
let him lean on his God.
11 Look, all you who kindle a fire,
who encircle yourselves with[a] firebrands;
walk in the light of your fire
and in the firebrands you have lit!
This is what you’ll get from My hand:
you will lie down in a place of torment.

10 Who among you fears[a] the Lord,
    obeying the voice of his servant,
who among you[b] walks[c] in darkness[d]
    and has no light?
Let him trust in the name of the Lord,
    and rely upon his God.
11 Look! All those[e] who light a fire,
    who surround yourselves with flaming torches—
walk by the light of your fire,
    and by the torches that you have set ablaze!
This is what you will receive from my hand:
    you will lie down in torment.
