Isaiah 48:16-19
New Living Translation
16 Come closer, and listen to this.
From the beginning I have told you plainly what would happen.”
And now the Sovereign Lord and his Spirit
have sent me with this message.
17 This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you what is good for you
and leads you along the paths you should follow.
18 Oh, that you had listened to my commands!
Then you would have had peace flowing like a gentle river
and righteousness rolling over you like waves in the sea.
19 Your descendants would have been like the sands along the seashore—
too many to count!
There would have been no need for your destruction,
or for cutting off your family name.”
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.”
