Isaiah 48:18

Context

48:18 If only you had obeyed my 1  commandments,

prosperity would have flowed to you like a river, 2 

deliverance would have come to you like the waves of the sea. 3 

1 tn Heb “paid attention to” (so NASB, NIV, NRSV); TEV “had listened to.”

2 tn Heb “like a river your peace would have been.” שָׁלוֹם (shalom) probably refers here to the peace and prosperity which God promised in return for obedience to the covenant.

3 tn Heb “and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.” צְדָקָה (tsÿdaqah) probably refers here to divine deliverance from enemies. See v. 19.
