These events will bring great honor to the Lord’s name;
    they will be an everlasting sign of his power and love.”

    and to irrigate your parched fields.
And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants,
    and my blessing on your children.

    like willows on a riverbank.
Some will proudly claim, ‘I belong to the Lord.’
    Others will say, ‘I am a descendant of Jacob.’
Some will write the Lord’s name on their hands
    and will take the name of Israel as their own.”
