Isaiah 48:17-22 - The Lord's Plan For His People
17 And thus sayeth the LORD God thine avenger, the holy one of Israel: I am the LORD thy God, which teach thee profitable things, and lead thee the way, that thou shouldest go. 18 If thou wilt now regard my commandment, thy wealthiness shall be as the water stream: and thy righteousness as the waves flowing in the sea. 19 Thy seed shall be like as the sand in the sea, and the fruit of thy body, like the gravel stones thereof: Thy name shall not be rooted out, nor destroyed before me.
20 Ye shall go away from Babylon, and escape the Chaldeans with a merry voice. This shall be spoken of, declared abroad, and go forth unto the end of the world: so that it shall be said, "The LORD hath defended his servant Jacob, 21 that they suffered no thirst, when they travailed in the wilderness. He clave the rocks asunder, and the water gushed out." 22 As for the ungodly, they have no peace, sayeth the LORD.
