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 O that you had hearkened to my commandments!
    Then your peace would have been like a river,
    and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;
19 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.”

    your Redeemer,(A) the Holy One(B) of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,

    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.”
