The Lord God will help me
    and prove I am innocent.
My accusers will wear out
    like moth-eaten clothes.

10 None of you respect the Lord
    or obey his servant.
You walk in the dark
    instead of the light;
you don't trust the name
    of the Lord your God.[a]
11 Go ahead and walk in the light
    of the fires you have set.[b]
But with his own hand,
the Lord will punish you
    and make you suffer.

    and rely on their God.
11 But now, all you who light fires
    and provide yourselves with flaming torches,(J)
go, walk in the light of your fires(K)
    and of the torches you have set ablaze.
This is what you shall receive from my hand:(L)
    You will lie down in torment.(M)
