17 This is what the Lord says—
    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.”
