17 “This is what the Lord says,
    your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:

“I am the Lord your God,
    who teaches you how to succeed,
        who directs you[a] in the path by which[b] you should go.
18 Now[c] if only you had paid attention to my commandments!
    Then your peace would have been like a river,
        and your success like the waves of the sea.
19 Your descendants would’ve been like the sand,
    and your offspring[d] like its numberless grains.
Their name wouldn’t have been cut off
    or annihilated out of my reach.
