encouragement, & rebuke

Isaiah 50

7 Because the Sovereign LORD helps me,

  I will not be disgraced.

Therefore, I have set my face like a stone,

  determined to do his will.

  And I know that I will not be put to shame.

8a He who gives me justice is near.


10 Who among you fears the LORD

  and obeys his servant?

If you are walking in darkness,

  without a ray of light,

trust in the LORD

  and rely on your God.


11 But watch out, you who live in your own light

  and warm yourselves by your own fires.

This is the reward you will receive from me:

  You will soon fall down in great torment.
