1. But now hear this, Jacob my servant,and Israel, whom I have chosen.
2. The Lord your maker,who formed you in the womb and will help you, says:Don’t fear, my servant Jacob,Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
3. I will pour out water upon thirsty groundand streams upon dry land.I will pour out my spirit upon your descendantsand my blessing upon your offspring.
4. They will spring up from among the reedslike willows by flowing streams.
5. This one will say, "I am the Lord’s,"and that one will be named after Jacob.Another will write on his hand, "The Lord’s"and will take the name Israel.
