Isaiah 48:16-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁶ Draw near to me and hear this:
    From the very beginning
    I have not spoken in secret.
From the time it came to be, I have been there.
    Now the Lord God has sent me and his Spirit.
¹⁷ Thus says the Lord God,
    your redeemer, the Holy One of Israel:
I am the Lord, your God
    who teaches you what is for your own good
    and who leads you in the way you should go.
¹⁸ If only you had listened to my commandments,
    your prosperity would have been like a river
    and your success like the waves of the sea.
