Isaiah 48:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ “Now come close to me and hear what I say.
    From the beginning I have spoken openly
    and have always made my words come true.”

Then blessings would have flowed for you
    like a stream that never goes dry.
Victory would have come to you
    like the waves that roll on the shore.
