Isaiah 48:17-19
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
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 that you should go.
18 Oh, that you had hearkened to My commandments! Then your peace and prosperity would have been like a flowing river, and your righteousness [the holiness and purity of the nation] like the [abundant] waves of the sea.
19 Your offspring would have been like the sand, and your descendants like the offspring of the sea; their name would not be cut off or destroyed from before Me.(A)

Isaiah 48:17-19
New International Version
17 This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer,(A) the Holy One(B) of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches(C) you what is best for you,
who directs(D) you in the way(E) you should go.
18 If only you had paid attention(F) to my commands,
your peace(G) would have been like a river,(H)
your well-being(I) like the waves of the sea.
19 Your descendants(J) would have been like the sand,(K)
your children like its numberless grains;(L)
their name would never be blotted out(M)
nor destroyed from before me.”
