For the follower of Christ Jesus who has been born again and renewed by the Holy Spirit, the yoke of God's commandments and law is a light burden and a guide for life to lead us beside still waters.
For the reprobate, they chaff at the yoke and cannot tolerate the light of God's law meaning to destroy us as testimonies to His grace and faithfulness. Gird up your loins. The worst is yet to come.
Yup. You could be interested enough to do your own research.

The worst is yet to come for them. We gird our loins and happily accept their attacks when we see they are panicking for good reason

nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts,

And a light to my path"

He said to love God. He did not say do not fear God.
Yes He did.
Ok, and? Should be easy to quote.
