As always the context is key and this is one of regulator those seeking to talk back to God.
Did it not cause you you to search it out and post several other translations of it? Did I do it... or did God do it? How like Him are we to this point? How like Him may we be? Jesus in this world was the Light, but when he is no longer in the world, who is the Light?

Without being led by the Holy Spirit without love/charity, what is context?
I always check different translations for anything important. Many KJVers think it's the ONLY written Word of God.
The context are the verse preferring and following any verse quoted that give mean to that verse.
Isaiah 45:11 quoted on its own appears to say that we can command God.
The context shows that this is not the meaning of this verse.
I was hoping to see your answer to my question: "Without being led by the Holy Spirit without love/charity, what is context?"
Can a man without being led by the Holy Spirit understand the context of God when he reads his Bible? Does not God have different messages for different people in their places according to their needs of the moment as He understands them?
"Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:" Matt 7:7
What was Peter doing here?
"But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me." Matt 14:30
Could God through Jesus have refused Peter's request or command? Was it not in a sense a command invoking the promise of God? When we command Him in our asking, not amiss, can God say, no?
The literal context of the Bible does not change by the influence of the spirit.
Only charletans claim that there mishandling and abuse of scripture is justified by the spirits leading.
