“Walk in the Light of Your Fire”

As with verse 10, verse 11 could be clearer in the contrast between the true follower and the hypocrite:

"But you are lighters of fires, all of you,

who illuminate with mere sparks.

Walk then by the light of your fires

and by the sparks you have kindled.

This shall you have from my hand:

you shall lie down in agony." (Gileadi pl 197).

Because the hypocrites are walking in darkness they "light fires." They have no natural light, so the attempt to make their own. As a result, they walk not in daylight, but by "sparks." The word of the servant is clear to such, they are not on the path to glory, but to hell.
