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
International Standard Version
16 Draw near to me, and[a] listen to this:
‘From the beginning I haven’t spoken in secret;
at[b] the time it happened, I was there.’
And now the Lord God, and his Spirit, has sent me.[c]
17 “This is what the Lord says,
your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches you how to succeed,
who directs you[d] in the path by which[e] you should go.
18 Now[f] if only you had paid attention to my commandments!
Then your peace would have been like a river,
and your success like the waves of the sea.
19 Your descendants would’ve been like the sand,
and your offspring[g] like its numberless grains.
Their name wouldn’t have been cut off
or annihilated out of my reach.
