Read in context

Isaiah 48:18–22 · Berean Standard Bible

18 If only you had paid attention to My commandments, your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like waves of the sea.

19 Your descendants would have been as countless as the sand, and your offspring as numerous as its grains; their name would never be cut off or eliminated from My presence.”

20 Leave Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! Declare it with a shout of joy, proclaim it, let it go out to the ends of the earth, saying, “The LORD has redeemed His servant Jacob!”

21 They did not thirst when He led them through the deserts; He made water flow for them from the rock; He split the rock, and water gushed out.

22 “There is no peace,” says the LORD, “for the wicked.”
