17 Thus says Adonai, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am Adonai your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go.
18 If only you had listened to My commandments! then your peace would be like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.
19 Your seed would have been like sand, and your offspring like its grains. Their name would never be cut off or destroyed from before Me.”
20 “Get out of Babylon, flee from Chaldea! With a shout of joy, proclaim this, send it out to the end of the earth, say: ‘Adonai has redeemed His servant Jacob!
21 They did not thirst when He led them through the deserts. He caused the water to flow out of the rock for them. He split the rock also, and the waters gushed out.’”
22 “There is no shalom,” says Adonai, “for the wicked.”
