Isaiah 48:17-19

Easy-to-Read Version

“I am the Lord your God.
    I teach you for your own good.
    I lead you in the way you should go.
¹⁸ If you had obeyed me,
    then peace would have come to you
    like a full flowing river.
Good things would have come to you again and again,
    like the waves of the sea.
¹⁹ If you had obeyed me,
    you would have had as many children as there are grains of sand.
And they would always have been mine
    and would never have been destroyed.”
