Isaiah 48:16-19
Legacy Standard Bible
16 (A)Draw near to Me, hear this:
From the first I have (B)not spoken in secret,
(C)From the time it took place, I was there.
So now (D)Lord Yahweh has sent Me, and His Spirit.”
17 Thus says Yahweh, your (E)Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
“I am Yahweh your God, who teaches you to profit,
Who (F)leads you in the way you should go.
18 If only you had (G)paid attention to My commandments!
Then your (H)peace would have been like a river,
And your (I)righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 Your (J)seed would have been like the sand,
And the offspring from your loins like its grains;
(K)Their name would never be cut off or destroyed from My presence.”
Isaiah 48:16-19
American Standard Version
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; from the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord Jehovah hath sent me, and his Spirit.
17 Thus saith Jehovah, thy Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah thy God, who teacheth thee to profit, who leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go. 18 [a]Oh that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea: 19 thy seed also had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like [b]the grains thereof: his name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.
