1 But now listen, my servant Jacob,Israel, whom I have chosen.
2 The Lord made you, formed you in the womb, and will help you.This is what the Lord says:Don’t be afraid, my servant Jacob,Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
3 I will pour water on thirsty ground and rain on dry land.I will pour my Spirit on your offspringand my blessing on your descendants.
4 They will spring up with the grassas poplars spring up by streams.
5 One person will say, “I belong to the Lord.”Another will call on the name of Jacob.Another will write on his hand, “The Lord’s,”and he will adopt the name of Israel.
