Isaiah 50:10

The Servant stands firm. He has complete confidence in the *Lord. That encourages other people also to put their complete trust in the *Lord.

The fate of those who refuse to obey God

v11 ‘Carry on, you people who have started your own fire. Bring piles of wood! You have chosen your own way, not God’s way. Continue to walk by the light of your own fire. But I, the *Lord, have declared your certain fate. You will come to a terrible end.’
