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.”

Who (F)leads you in the way you should go.

Then your [b](H)well-being would have been like a river,
And your (I)righteousness like the waves of the sea.

And [d]your offspring like its grains;
(K)Their name would never be cut off or destroyed from My presence.”
