God’s Blessing on Jacob

44 Yet now listen, O Jacob, My servant,
    and Israel, whom I have chosen.
Thus says the Lord
    who made you, and formed you from the womb,
    who will help you:
Do not fear, O Jacob, My servant, and you,
    Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
For I will pour water on him who is thirsty,
    and floods on the dry ground;
I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants,
    and My blessing on your offspring;
and they shall spring up as among the grass,
    as willows by the water courses.
One will say, “I am the Lord’s”;
    another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
and another will write on his hand, “Belonging to the Lord,”
    and name himself by the name of Israel.

Yahweh Blesses Chosen Israel

44 “But now hear, Jacob my servant,
    and Israel, whom I have chosen.
Thus says Yahweh, who made you,
    and who formed you in[a] the womb and will help you:
you must not fear, my servant Jacob,
    and Jeshurun whom I have chosen.
For I will pour out water on a thirsty land
    and streams on dry ground.
I will pour my spirit out on your descendants[b]
    and my blessing on your offspring.
And they shall sprout among[c] the grass
    like willows by a watercourse of water.
This one will say, ‘I belong to Yahweh!’
    And that one will be called by the name of Jacob,
and another will write on his hand ‘Yahweh’s’
    and take the name[d] of Israel.”
