Your descendants would have been as countless as the sand, and your offspring as numerous as its grains; their name would never be cut off or eliminated from My presence.”

Isaiah 48:19, Berean Standard Bible

Verse 19 completes a conditional sentence begun in verse 18: if they had listened to God's commands, their peace would have flowed like a river and their descendants would have been countless as sand.
