1 Yet now listen, O Jacob, My servant,and Israel, whom I have chosen.
2 Thus says the Lordwho made you, and formed you from the womb,who will help you:Do not fear, O Jacob, My servant, and you,Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
3 For I will pour water on him who is thirsty,and floods on the dry ground;I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants,and My blessing on your offspring;
4 and they shall spring up as among the grass,as willows by the water courses.
5 One will say, “I am the Lord’s”;another will call himself by the name of Jacob;and another will write on his hand, “Belonging to the Lord,”and name himself by the name of Israel.
6 Thus says the Lord the King of Israel,and his Redeemer the Lord of Hosts:I am the first, and I am the last;besides Me there is no God.
7 Who is like Me? Let him proclaimand declare it, and recount it in order for Me,since I appointed the ancient people.And let them declare to them the things that are coming,and shall come.
