Isaiah 48:16-18
New American Standard Bible 1995
16 “(A)Come near to Me, listen to this:
From the first I have (B)not spoken in secret,
(C)From the time it took place, I was there.
And now (D)the Lord [a]God has sent Me, and His Spirit.”
17 Thus says the Lord, your (E)Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel,
“I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit,
Who (F)leads you in the way you should go.
18 “If only you had (G)paid attention to My commandments!
Then your [b](H)well-being would have been like a river,
And your (I)righteousness like the waves of the sea.
