Isaiah 48:16-19

English Standard Version

¹⁷ Thus says the Lord,
    your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
    who teaches you to profit,
    who leads you in the way you should go.
^18 (C)Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments!
    ^(D)Then your peace would have been like a river,
    and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;
^19 (E)your offspring would have been like the sand,
    and your descendants like its grains;
their name would never be cut off
    or destroyed from before me.”
