This passage talks about something that isn't spoken much in this culture-fear of the Lord. "Who is among you that fear the Lord, that obey the voice of his servant and that walk in the darkness and hath no light?" We a lot of talking today from the pulpit about how the Lord is "love" and He is, but He is also to be feared. I get the feeling that for thousands of years that God was someone only to be feared. Luther thought God was a judgement God, and the prophets of the book of Mormon also thought the same thing. Generally speaking, when we fear something we don't want to cross or disobey it, and when it comes to the Lord, even in 2018, those are things we should remember.
I also like verse eleven-"Behold all ye that kindle fire, compass yourselves about with sparks, walk in the light of your fire and in the sparks which ye have kindled" Clearly, Isiah (And this part of the Book of Mormon comes from the Book of Isiah) is talking about the fire of the Lord, and to walk in which direction it leads you
