Isaiah 48:16-19
World English Bible
16 “Come near to me and hear this:
“From the beginning I have not spoken in secret;
from the time that it happened, I was there.”
Now the Lord Yahweh has sent me
with his Spirit.
17 Yahweh,
your Redeemer,
the Holy One of Israel says:
“I am Yahweh your God,
who teaches you to profit,
who leads you by the way that you should go.
18 Oh that you had listened to my commandments!
Then your peace would have been like a river
and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 Your offspring also would have been as the sand
and the descendants of your body like its grains.
His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.”

Then your peace would have been like a river,(E)
and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.(F)
19 Your descendants would have been as countless as the sand,(G)
and the offspring of your body like its grains;
their name would not be cut off
or eliminated from my presence.
