(A)For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
    and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring,
    and my blessing on your descendants.
They shall spring up among the grass
    (B)like willows by flowing streams.
(C)This one will say, ‘I am the Lord's,’
    another will call on the name of Jacob,
and another will write on his hand, ‘The Lord's,’
    and name himself by the name of Israel.”

And another will (E)write [d]on his hand, ‘Belonging to the Lord,’
And will give himself Israel’s name with honor.
