Isaiah 44:1-5
Legacy Standard Bible
No God Besides Yahweh
44 “But now hear, O Jacob, My (A)servant,
And Israel, whom I have chosen:
2 Thus says Yahweh who made you
And (B)formed you from the womb, who (C)will help you,
‘(D)Do not fear, O Jacob My servant,
And you (E)Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
3 For (F)I will pour out water on [a]the thirsty ground
And streams on the dry land;
I will (G)pour out My Spirit on your (H)seed
And My blessing on your offspring;
4 And they will spring up [b]among the grass
Like (I)poplars by streams of water.’
5 This one will say, ‘I am Yahweh’s’;
And this one [c]will call on the name of Jacob;
And this one will (J)write [d]on his hand, ‘Belonging to Yahweh,’
And will name Israel’s name with honor.

New Living Translation
44 “But now, listen to me, Jacob my servant,
Israel my chosen one.
2 The Lord who made you and helps you says:
Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant,
O dear Israel,[a] my chosen one.
3 For I will pour out water to quench your thirst
and to irrigate your parched fields.
And I will pour out my Spirit on your descendants,
and my blessing on your children.
4 They will thrive like watered grass,
like willows on a riverbank.
5 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.”
