Wherefore glorify ye the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
The chapter frames the call with devastation and judgment, yet even there voices are lifted to praise the Lord's majesty. The charge is to glorify the Lord in the fires. It is joined to honoring the name of the God of Israel in the distant isles of the sea. Praise to God is thus fitting amid hardship and from every place.
