For 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.
They will spring up like grass in a meadow,
    like poplar trees by flowing streams.
Some will say, “I belong to the Lord”;
    others will call themselves by the name of Jacob;
still others will write on their hand, “The Lord’s,”
    and will take the name Israel.
