Isaiah 48:17-21

Isaiah 48:17-21 NCV

This is what the LORD, who saves you, the Holy One of Israel, says: “I am the LORD your God, who teaches you to do what is good, who leads you in the way you should go. If you had obeyed me, you would have had peace like a full-flowing river. Good things would have flowed to you like the waves of the sea. You would have had many children, as many as the grains of sand. They would never have died out nor been destroyed.” My people, leave Babylon! Run from the Babylonians! Tell this news with shouts of joy to the people; spread it everywhere on earth. Say, “The LORD has saved his servants, the people of Jacob.” They did not become thirsty when he led them through the deserts. He made water flow from a rock for them. He split the rock, and water flowed out.
