Isaiah 48:18
Douay-Rheims
O that thou hadst hearkened to my commandments: thy peace had been as a river, and thy justice as the waves of the sea,
Ibn Ezra
לוא Oh that. The א is paragogic; comp. ההלכוא that went (Jos. 10:24). ויהי Then had been. The ו has here the same meaning as فَ in Arabic. Thy peace had been as a river, that does not cease to flow. And thy righteousness, etc. And thy righteousness had been continuous as the waves of the sea.
Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
