Isaiah 48:18-20

Good News Translation

¹⁸ “If only you had listened to my commands!
Then blessings would have flowed for you
    like a stream that never goes dry.
Victory would have come to you
    like the waves that roll on the shore.
¹⁹ Your descendants would be as numerous as grains of sand,
    and I would have made sure they were never destroyed.”

^20 (A)Go out from Babylon, go free!
Shout the news gladly; make it known everywhere:
    “The Lord has saved his servant Israel!”
