Isaiah 48:17-19
International Children’s Bible
17 The Lord is your close relative who saves you, the Holy One of Israel.
The Lord says,
“I am the Lord your God.
I teach you to do what is good.
I lead you in the way you should go.
18 If you had obeyed me,
you would have had peace like a full-flowing river.
Good things would have flowed to you like the waves of the sea.
19 You would have had many children.
They would have been as many as the grains of sand.
They would never have died out.
They would not have been destroyed.”
Isaiah 48:17-19
New King James Version
17 Thus says (A)the Lord, your Redeemer,
The Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
Who teaches you to profit,
(B)Who leads you by the way you should go.
18 (C)Oh, that you had heeded My commandments!
(D)Then your peace would have been like a river,
And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 (E)Your descendants also would have been like the sand,
And the offspring of your body like the grains of sand;
His name would not have been cut off
Nor destroyed from before Me.”
