Isaiah 48:16-19

World English Bible

“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.”
