Isaiah 48:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ You should have obeyed my commands.
Then you would have had peace in your lives,
    like a river that runs quietly.
You would have been safe and well,
    like the strong waves in the sea.
¹⁹ You would have had many descendants,
    as much as the sand on the shore of the sea.
I would not need to destroy them.
    Their family name would continue for ever.’
