1But now hear, Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen.

2Thus says Yahweh, your Maker and the one who formed you from the womb, who will help you: Do not fear, my servant Jacob, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

3For 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.

4And they will spring up among the grass like willows by streams of water.

5This one will say, ‘I am Yahweh’s’; another will call himself by the name of Jacob; and another will write on his hand, ‘Belonging to Yahweh,’ and will name himself by the name of Israel.
