Isaiah 48:16-19
English Standard Version
16 (A)Draw near to me, hear this:
from the beginning I have not spoken in secret,
from the time it came to be I have been there.”
And now (B)the Lord God has sent me, and his Spirit.
17 Thus says the Lord,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you to profit,
who leads you in the way you should go.
18 (C)Oh that you had paid attention to my commandments!
(D)Then your peace would have been like a river,
and your righteousness like the waves of the sea;
19 (E)your offspring would have been like the sand,
and your descendants like its grains;
their name would never be cut off
or destroyed from before me.”
Isaiah 48:16-19
New International Version
16 “Come near(A) me and listen(B) to this:
“From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret;(C)
at the time it happens, I am there.”
17 This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer,(G) the Holy One(H) of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches(I) you what is best for you,
who directs(J) you in the way(K) you should go.
18 If only you had paid attention(L) to my commands,
your peace(M) would have been like a river,(N)
your well-being(O) like the waves of the sea.
19 Your descendants(P) would have been like the sand,(Q)
your children like its numberless grains;(R)
their name would never be blotted out(S)
nor destroyed from before me.”
