Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Isaiah 50:11

_ _ In contrast to the godly (Isaiah 50:10), the wicked, in times of darkness, instead of trusting in God, trust in themselves (kindle a light for themselves to walk by) (Ecclesiastes 11:9). The image is continued from Isaiah 50:10, “darkness”; human devices for salvation (Proverbs 19:21; Proverbs 16:9, Proverbs 16:25) are like the spark that goes out in an instant in darkness (compare Job 18:6; Job 21:17, with Psalms 18:28).

_ _ sparks — not a steady light, but blazing sparks extinguished in a moment.

_ _ walk — not a command, but implying that as surely as they would do so, they should lie down in sorrow (Jeremiah 3:25). In exact proportion to mystic Babylon’s previous “glorifying” of herself shall be her sorrow (Matthew 25:30; Matthew 8:12; Revelation 18:7).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Isaiah 50:10-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Isaiah 50:11

All ye — You that reject the light which God hath set up, and seek for comfort and safety, by your own inventions. Walk — Use your utmost endeavours to get comfort from these devices. This — This shall be the fruit of all, you shall receive nothing but vexation and misery.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Isaiah 50:11

Behold, all ye that kindle (m) a fire, that surround [yourselves] with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks [that] ye have kindled. This shall ye have of my hand; ye shall lie down in sorrow.

(m) You have sought consolation by your own devises, and have refused the light and consolation which God has offered: therefore you will remain in sorrow and not be comforted.
