Isaiah 48:16-18

Modern English Version

I have not spoken in secret from the beginning;
    from the time that it was, there I am.

And now the Lord God has sent me
    and His Spirit.

¹⁷ Thus says the Lord,
    your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
I am the Lord your God,
    who teaches you to profit,
    who leads you in the way you should go.
¹⁸ Oh, that you had listened to My commandments!
    Then your peace would have been as a river
    and your righteousness as the waves of the sea.
