“Hear this, house of Jacob, you who are called by the name of Israel, and have come out of the waters of Judah. You swear by Yahweh’s name, and make mention of the God of Israel, but not in truth, nor in righteousness—
therefore I have declared it to you from of old; before it came to pass I showed it to you; lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them. My engraved image and my molten image has commanded them.’
48:6
ሰማዕክሙ፡ ኵሎ፡ ወኢያእመርክሙ፤ ወአስማዕኩከ፡ ሐዲሰኒ፡ ዘእምይእዜ፡ ይከውን።

惟有我曾說過,我又選召他, 領他來,他的道路就必亨通。

“Come near to me and hear this: “From the beginning I have not spoken in secret; from the time that it happened, I was there.” Now the Lord Yahweh has sent me with his Spirit.
Your offspring also would have been as the sand and the descendants of your body like its grains. His name would not be cut off nor destroyed from before me.”

They didn’t thirst when he led them through the deserts. He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them. He also split the rock and the waters gushed out.
48:22
ወኢይትፌሥሑ፡ እንከ፡ ኃጥኣን፡ ይቤ፡ እግዚአብሔር።
耶和華說: 惡人必不得平安!
“There is no peace”, says Yahweh, “for the wicked.”
