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.’
20 Now leave Babylon as free people!
No longer serve the Babylonians!
Shout the news with joy!
Tell everyone about it, all over the world.
Tell them that the Lord has redeemed his people,
his servants, the Israelites.
Isaiah 48:18-20
New International Version
18 If only you had paid attention(A) to my commands,
your peace(B) would have been like a river,(C)
your well-being(D) like the waves of the sea.
19 Your descendants(E) would have been like the sand,(F)
your children like its numberless grains;(G)
their name would never be blotted out(H)
nor destroyed from before me.”
