Isaiah 48:18-20
Lexham English Bible
18 O that you had listened attentively to my commandments!
Then[a] your prosperity would have been like a river,
and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 And your offspring would have been like the sand,
and the descendants of your body[b] like its grains.[c]
It would not be cut off,
and its name would not be destroyed from my presence.”
20 Go out from Babylon!
Flee from Chaldea!
Proclaim[d] it with a shout[e] of rejoicing; proclaim[f] this!
Send it forth[g] to the end of the earth;
say, “Yahweh has redeemed his servant Jacob!”
