Isaiah 48:17-19
GOD’S WORD Translation
17 This is what the Lord, your Defender, the Holy One of Israel, says:
I am the Lord your God.
I teach you what is best for you.
I lead you where you should go.
18 If only you had listened to my commands!
Your peace would be like a river ⌞that never runs dry⌟.
Your righteousness would be like waves on the sea.
19 Your descendants would be like sand.
Your children would be like its grains.
Their names would not be cut off or wiped out in my presence.

your Redeemer,(A) the Holy One(B) of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches(C) you what is best for you,
who directs(D) you in the way(E) you should go.
18 If only you had paid attention(F) to my commands,
your peace(G) would have been like a river,(H)
your well-being(I) like the waves of the sea.
19 Your descendants(J) would have been like the sand,(K)
your children like its numberless grains;(L)
their name would never be blotted out(M)
nor destroyed from before me.”
