"But now listen, Jacob, My servant, And Israel, whom I have chosen:

Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:

This is what the LORD says, He who made you And formed you from the womb, who will help you: 'Do not fear, Jacob My servant, And Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

Thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

'For I will pour water on the thirsty land And streams on the dry ground; I will pour out My Spirit on your offspring, And My blessing on your descendants;

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

And they will spring up among the grass Like poplars by streams of water.'

And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.

"This one will say, 'I am the LORD'S'; And that one will call on the name of Jacob; And another will write on his hand, 'Belonging to the LORD,' And will give himself Israel's name with honor.

One shall say, I am the Lord 's; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord , and surname himself by the name of Israel.
