Isaiah 50:11 Behold, all you that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire… By the "fire" and "the light of their fire" which wicked men are said to walk in, two things must be meant. I. THEIR OWN NATURAL RIGHTEOUSNESS and the sparks and acts thereof. II. THE LIGHT OF OUTWARD COMFORTS from the creatures, which in this world they enjoy, and the sparkling pleasures thereof which they walk in, and content themselves with, neglecting communion with God, being estranged from the life of God, and living without Him in the world. ( T. Goodwin, D.D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourselves about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow. |
