Isaiah 50:10

Isaiah 50:10

8 ^aHe is near who justifies Me;
Who will contend with Me?
Let us stand together.
Who is¹ My adversary?
Let him come near Me.

9 Surely the Lord God will help Me;
Who is he who will condemn Me?
^aIndeed they will all grow old like a garment;
^bThe moth will eat them up.

10 “Who among you fears the Lord?
Who obeys the voice of His Servant?
Who ^awalks in darkness
And has no light?
^bLet him trust in the name of the Lord
And rely upon his God.

11 Look, all you who kindle a fire,
Who encircle yourselves with sparks:
Walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks you have kindled—
^aThis you shall have from My hand:
You shall lie down ^bin torment.

<< Isaiah 50:9

Isaiah 50:11 >>

Messiah exhorts the godly after His example (Isaiah 49:4-5; Isaiah 42:4) when in circumstances of trial ("darkness," Isaiah 47:5), to trust in the arm of Jehovah alone.

Who is, etc.—that is, Whosoever (Judges 7:3).

obeyeth . . . servant—namely, Messiah. The godly "honor the Son, even as they honor the Father" (John 5:23).

darkness— (Micah 7:8-9). God never had a son who was not sometimes in the dark. For even Christ, His only Son, cried out, "My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?"

light—rather, "splendor"; bright sunshine; for the servant of God is never wholly without "light" [VITRINGA]. A godly man's way may be dark, but his end shall be peace and light. A wicked man's way may be bright, but his end shall be utter darkness (Psalms 112:4; Psalms 97:11; Psalms 37:24).

let him trust in the name of the Lord—as Messiah did (Isaiah 50:8-9).
