Isaiah 44:3-5
1599 Geneva Bible
3 For I will pour water upon the [a]thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thy buds.
4 And they [b]shall grow as among the grass, and as the willows by the rivers of waters.
5 One shall say, I am the Lord’s: another [c]shall be called by the name of Jacob: and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord, and name himself by the name of Israel.

Isaiah 44:3-5
New International Version
3 For I will pour water(A) on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry ground;(B)
I will pour out my Spirit(C) on your offspring,
and my blessing(D) on your descendants.(E)
4 They will spring up like grass(F) in a meadow,
like poplar trees(G) by flowing streams.(H)
5 Some will say, ‘I belong(I) to the Lord’;
others will call themselves by the name of Jacob;
still others will write on their hand,(J) ‘The Lord’s,’(K)
and will take the name Israel.
