以赛亚书 48:12－13， 17－19  Isaiah 48:12-13, 17-19

雅各－我所选召的以色列啊，当听我言：我是耶和华，我是首先的，也是末后的。我手立了地的根基；我右手铺张诸天；我一招呼便都立住。耶和华－你的救赎主，以色列的圣者如此说：我是耶和华－你的神，教训你，使你得益处，引导你所当行的路。甚願你素来听从我的命令！你的平安就如河水；你的公义就如海浪。你的后裔也必多如海沙；你腹中所生的也必多如沙粒。“Listen to me, O family of Jacob, Israel my chosen one! I alone am God, the First and the Last. It was my hand that laid the foundations of the earth, my right hand that spread out the heavens above. When I call out the stars, they all appear in order.” This is what the Lord says - your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, who teaches you what is good for you and leads you along the paths you should follow. Oh, that you had listened to my commands! Then you would have had peace flowing like a gentle river
 and righteousness rolling over you like waves in the sea. Your descendants would have been like the sands along the seashore - too many to count!”
