Isaiah 48:16-18
Isaiah 48:16-18 TPT
“Draw near to me and listen: From the beginning, I have not spoken in secret. From the beginning of time, I was there.” And now Lord YAHWEH has sent me, empowered by his Spirit! This is what YAHWEH, your Kinsman-Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel says: “I am YAHWEH, your God. I am the One who teaches you how to succeed and who leads you step by step in the way you should go. If only you had listened to my commands, then peace would have flowed like a river for you and success would wash over you like waves of the sea.
