18 ^aOh, that you had heeded My commandments!
^bThen your peace would have been like a river,
And your righteousness like the waves of the sea. ‡

19 ^aYour descendants also would have been like the sand,
And the offspring of your body like the grains of sand;
His name would not have been cut off
Nor destroyed from before Me.” ‡

21 And they ^adid not thirst
When He led them through the deserts;
He ^bcaused the waters to flow from the rock for them;
He also split the rock, and the waters gushed out. ‡

22 “There^a is no peace,” says the Lord, “for the wicked.” ‡
