17 This is what the Lord, who saves you,
    the Holy One of Israel, says:
“I am the Lord your God,
    who teaches you to do what is good,
    who leads you in the way you should go.
18 If you had obeyed me,
    you would have had peace like a full-flowing river.
    Good things would have flowed to you like the waves of the sea.
19 You would have had many children,
    as many as the grains of sand.
They would never have died out
    nor been destroyed.”

    your Redeemer,(A) the Holy One(B) of Israel:
“I am the Lord your God,

    who directs(D) you in the way(E) you should go.
18 If only you had paid attention(F) to my commands,
    your peace(G) would have been like a river,(H)
    your well-being(I) like the waves of the sea.
19 Your descendants(J) would have been like the sand,(K)
    your children like its numberless grains;(L)
their name would never be blotted out(M)
    nor destroyed from before me.”
