Isaiah 48:16-18
1599 Geneva Bible
16 Come near unto me: hear ye this: I have not spoken it in secret from the [a]beginning: from the time that the thing was, I was there, and now the Lord God and his Spirit hath [b]sent me.
17 Thus saith the Lord thy redeemer, the Holy one of Israel, I am the Lord thy God, which teach thee [c]to profit, and lead thee by the way that thou shouldest go.
18 Oh, that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy prosperity been as the flood, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea.

Isaiah 48:16-18
New International Version
16 “Come near(A) me and listen(B) to this:
“From the first announcement I have not spoken in secret;(C)
at the time it happens, I am there.”
17 This is what the Lord says—
your Redeemer,(G) the Holy One(H) of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,
who teaches(I) you what is best for you,
who directs(J) you in the way(K) you should go.
18 If only you had paid attention(L) to my commands,
your peace(M) would have been like a river,(N)
your well-being(O) like the waves of the sea.
