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.”

Isaiah 48:16-19
Authorized (King James) Version
16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this;
I have not spoken in secret from the beginning;
from the time that it was, there am I:
and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.
17 Thus saith the Lord, thy Redeemer,
the Holy One of Israel;
I am the Lord thy God which teacheth thee to profit,
which leadeth thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments!
then had thy peace been as a river,
and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:
19 thy seed also had been as the sand,
and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof;
his name should not have been cut off
nor destroyed from before me.
