16 Draw near to me; hear this! I have not spoken in secrecy from the beginning;[a]
    from the time it came to be,[b] there I have been;
        And now the Lord Yahweh has sent me and his Spirit.”

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

Then[d] your prosperity would have been like a river,
    and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
