Isaiah 48:18 in Context — Isaiah 48

16 Achegai-vos a mim, ouvi isto: não falei em oculto desde o princípio; [ao contrário] ,desde o tempo em que aquilo se fez, ali eu estava; e agora o Senhor DEUS me enviou, e seu Espírito.

17 Assim diz o SENHOR, teu Redentor, o Santo de Israel: Eu sou o SENHOR teu Deus, que te ensina o que é proveitoso, [e] te guia pelo caminho que deves andar.

18 Ah, se tu tivesses me dado ouvidos a meus mandamentos! Então tua paz teria sido como um rio, e tua justiça como as ondas do mar.

19 Também tua semente teria sido como a areia, e os que procedem do teu corpo, como suas pedrinhas, cujo nome nunca seria cortado, nem destruído de minha face.

20 Saí da Babilônia, fugi dos caldeus; declarai com voz de júbilo, anunciai, [e] levai isto até o fim da terra; dizei: O SENHOR resgatou a seu servo Jacó!
