Isaiah 48:19-21

New Living Translation

¹⁹ Your descendants would have been like the sands along the seashore—
    too many to count!
There would have been no need for your destruction,
    or for cutting off your family name.”

²⁰ Yet even now, be free from your captivity!
    Leave Babylon and the Babylonians.^[a]
Sing out this message!
    Shout it to the ends of the earth!
The Lord has redeemed his servants,
    the people of Israel.^[b]
21 They were not thirsty
    when he led them through the desert.
He divided the rock,
    and water gushed out for them to drink.
