Isaiah 48:19
Douay-Rheims
And thy seed had been as the sand, and the offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof: his name should not have perished, nor have been destroyed from before my face.
Ibn Ezra
Thy seed. The number of thy children. בטנך=מעיך Thy womb. כמעותיו As its bowels. The possessive pronoun refers to the sea, the waves and sand of which have just been mentioned (ver. 18 and 19); by the bowels of the sea the roe of the fish is meant. His name. The name of thy seed.
