8.16 Signa legem. Quasi diceret: Aperi eam, Domine, discipulis mine, etc., until to possumus also doctrinas intelligere.
8:16 instructions (Hebrew torah): The Torah defined Israel’s covenant relationship with God, but the people were quick to forget (see also 1:10).
Trusting God in Isaiah
The prophet Isaiah saw that mere humans prove untrustworthy (Isa 2:22). When in distress, the people of Judah often sought help from other nations (e.g., Egypt or Assyria), but Isaiah pointed out that Judah’s success and security was based upon their trust in God (see 8:9-17). King Hezekiah was mocked by the Assyrian army for trusting in God, yet it was that very trust that led to a great victory for God’s people (36:1–37:37).
Those who trust in the Lord live in awe of him (29:23) and are not afraid (see 35:4), knowing that the Lord will be with them (51:12). They respond in praise because they trust in him (12:1-2; 25:9), and they express their trust through obedience to him (26:8). The faithful might feel the effects of God’s judgment on his enemies as they await the Lord’s salvation. Yet they find new strength day by day (40:31) and see themselves ultimately as citizens of God’s city, Zion (see 26:1-3). Those who trust in the Lord have true and lasting inner peace (26:3, 12; 32:17-18).

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism
(Occurrence 0) Bind up my testimony, seal the official record
(Some words not found in UHB: bind_up transcript seal teaching in/on/at/with,disciples,my )
These two phrases mean basically the same thing. Alternate translation: “Close up tightly the scroll with this message written on it”
(Occurrence 0) my testimony … my disciples
(Some words not found in UHB: bind_up transcript seal teaching in/on/at/with,disciples,my )
It is unclear to whom the word “my” refers. It could be Isaiah or Yahweh. It is best to leave the pronouns ambiguous if your language will allow it.
