Isaiah 50:10-11

The Obedient Servant Trusts the LORD While Zion Is Called to Walk in His Light

From the LORD’s legal challenge against claims of abandonment, to proof of his redeeming power, to the Servant’s instructed obedience and suffering, to the Servant’s confidence in divine vindication, to a final summons separating those who trust the LORD from those who walk by their own fire.

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10 Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of His Servant? Who among you walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD; let him lean on his God.

11 Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who array yourselves with firebrands, walk in the light of your fire and of the firebrands you have lit! This is what you will receive from My hand: You will lie down in a place of torment.
