Isaiah 48:18

Isa 48:18 O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy righteousness as the waves of the sea:

Ver. 18. Oh that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments. ] See the like wishes, Deuteronomy 32:29 ; Deuteronomy 5:29 Psalms 81:13 , implying that so they might have redeemed many sorrows, escaped many miseries.

Then had thy peace been as a river ] "Great peace have all they that love God’s law, and nothing shall offend them," Psa 119:165 they shall have a confluence of all comforts and contentments: yet ever with an exception of the cross, as need requireth.

And thy righteousness as the waves of the sea. ] Which are perpetual, fluctus fluctum trudit.
