17 Thus says the Lord, your (A)Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,

“I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit,
Who (B)leads you in the way you should go.
18 “If only you had (C)paid attention to My commandments!
Then your [a](D)well-being would have been like a river,
And your (E)righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 “Your [b](F)descendants would have been like the sand,
And [c]your offspring like its grains;
(G)Their name would never be cut off or destroyed from My presence.”
