Isaiah 48:17-19

EasyEnglish Bible

‘I am the Lord your God.
    I teach you what will be good for you.
    I lead you along a good path in life.
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.’
