² This is what the Lord says—
    he who made^(A) you, who formed you in the womb,^(B)
    and who will help^(C) you:
Do not be afraid,^(D) Jacob, my servant,^(E)
    Jeshurun,^[a](F) whom I have chosen.
³ For I will pour water^(G) on the thirsty land,
    and streams on the dry ground;^(H)
I will pour out my Spirit^(I) on your offspring,
    and my blessing^(J) on your descendants.^(K)
4 They will spring up like grass^(L) in a meadow,
    like poplar trees^(M) by flowing streams.^(N)
