17 Thus says Yahweh, your redeemer, the holy one of Israel:

“I am Yahweh your God, who teaches[a] you to profit,
    leads you in the way you should go.

18 O that you had listened attentively to my commandments!

Then[b] 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[c] like its grains.[d]
It would not be cut off,
    and its name would not be destroyed from my presence.”
