Isaiah 48:20-22
New English Translation

20 Leave Babylon!
Flee from the Babylonians!
Announce it with a shout of joy!
Make this known—
proclaim it throughout the earth![a]
Say, ‘The Lord protects[b] his servant Jacob.
21 They do not thirst as he leads them through dry regions;
he makes water flow out of a rock for them;
he splits open a rock and water flows out.’[c]
22 There will be no prosperity for the wicked,” says the Lord.
