Isaiah 48:12-22 - Yahweh Frees Israel
12 Listen to me, O Jacob and Israel, My called; I am He; I am the first, I also am the last. 13 My hand also has laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand has stretched out the heavens. I called; they stood up together. 14 Let all of you gather and hear; who among them has declared these things? Jehovah has loved him; He will do His pleasure on Babylon, and His arm shall be on the Chaldeans. 15 I, I, have spoken; yea, I have called him; I brought him and he makes his way succeed. 16 Come near to Me, hear this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning. From its being, I was there; and now the Lord Jehovah, and His Spirit, has sent Me.
17 So says Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel, I am Jehovah your God who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go. 18 Oh that you had paid attention to My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea. 19 And your seed would have been like the sand, and the offspring of your bowels like its grain; his name would not have been cut off nor destroyed from before Me.
20 Go out of Babylon; flee from the Chaldeans. Tell it with a voice of singing, let this be heard, let it go out to the end of the earth; say, Jehovah has redeemed His servant Jacob. 21 And they did not thirst when He led them through the deserts; He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; He cut open the rock also, and the waters gushed out. 22 There is no peace, says Jehovah, to the wicked.
