Isaiah 48:16-19

New American Standard Bible

^16 (A)Come near to Me, listen to this:
From the beginning I have ^(B)not spoken in secret,
^(C)From the time it took place, I was there.
And now ^(D)the Lord ^[a]God has sent Me, and His Spirit.”

“I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to benefit,
Who ^(F)leads you in the way you should go.
¹⁸ If only you had ^(G)paid attention to My commandments!
Then your ^[b](H)well-being would have been like a river,
And your ^(I)righteousness like the waves of the sea.
¹⁹ Your ^[c](J)descendants would have been like the sand,
And ^[d]your offspring like its grains;
^(K)Their name would never be eliminated or destroyed from My presence.”
