Isaiah 48:17-19

International Children’s Bible

¹⁷ The Lord is your close relative who saves you, the Holy One of Israel.
    The Lord says,
“I am the Lord your God.
    I teach you to do what is good.
    I lead you in the way you should go.
¹⁸ If you had obeyed me,
    you would have had peace like a full-flowing river.
    Good things would have flowed to you like the waves of the sea.
¹⁹ You would have had many children.
    They would have been as many as the grains of sand.
They would never have died out.
    They would not have been destroyed.”
