Isaiah 48:16-19
New King James Version
16 “Come near to Me, hear this:
(A)I have not spoken in secret from the beginning;
From the time that it was, I was there.
And now (B)the Lord God and His Spirit
[a]Have sent Me.”
17 Thus says (C)the Lord, your Redeemer,
The Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
Who teaches you to profit,
(D)Who leads you by the way you should go.
18 (E)Oh, that you had heeded My commandments!
(F)Then your peace would have been like a river,
And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 (G)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.”
