Isaiah 48 : 12 - 22
Chapter 48
| 12 | "Listen to Me, O Jacob, And Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last.
|
| 13 | Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together.
|
| 14 | "All of you, assemble yourselves, and hear! Who among them has declared these things? The LORD loves him; He shall do His pleasure on Babylon, And His arm shall be against the Chaldeans.
|
| 15 | I, even I, have spoken; Yes, I have called him, I have brought him, and his way will prosper.
|
| 16 | "Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; From the time that it was, I was there. And now the Lord GOD and His Spirit Have sent Me."
|
| 17 | Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go.
|
| 18 | Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
|
| 19 | Your descendants also would have been like the sand, And the offspring of your body like the grains of sand; His name would not have been cut off Nor destroyed from before Me."
|
| 20 | Go forth from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! With a voice of singing, Declare, proclaim this, Utter it to the end of the earth; Say, "The LORD has redeemed His servant Jacob!"
|
| 21 | And they did not thirst When He led them through the deserts; He caused the waters to flow from the rock for them; He also split the rock, and the waters gushed out.
|
| 22 | "There is no peace," says the LORD, "for the wicked."
