Isaiah 48:18-19
48:18 a Peace and righteousness will be established when the Kingdom of God comes in its fullness (see 66:12 b).• like a gentle river ... like waves: An abundance of comforting peace and overflowing resources of righteousness (cp. Amos 5:24 c) could have been Israel’s if its people had only listened to God.
48:19 d Your descendants ... like the sands: This would fulfill God’s covenant to Abraham (Gen 22:17 e); by contrast, the Israelites were nearly wiped out in the Exile (see Isa 44:26 f).
