Isaiah 48:17-22 - The Lord's Plan For His People
17 This is what Jehovah your Defender (Redeemer), the Holy One of Israel, says: I am Jehovah your God. I teach you what is best for you. I lead you where you should go. 18 If only you had listened to my commandments! Your peace would be like a river that never runs dry. Your righteousness would be like waves on the sea. 19 Your descendants would be like sand. Your children would be like its grains. Their names would not be cut off or wiped out in my presence.
20 Get out of Babylon! Flee from the Babylonians! Shout for joy as you tell it and announce it. Shout it out to the ends of the earth. Say: Jehovah has reclaimed his servant Jacob. 21 They were not thirsty when he led them through the deserts. He made water flow from a rock for them. He split a rock, and water gushed out. 22 There is no peace for the wicked, says Jehovah.
