The Blessings of Israel

44 “But now listen, Jacob, My (A)servant,
And Israel, whom I have chosen:
This is what the Lord says, He who made you
And (B)formed you from the womb, who (C)will help you:
(D)Do not fear, Jacob My servant,
And [a](E)Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
For (F)I will pour water on [b]the thirsty land
And streams on the dry ground;
I will (G)pour out My Spirit on your (H)offspring,
And My blessing on your descendants;
And they will spring up [c]among the grass
Like (I)poplars by streams of water.’
This one will say, ‘I am the Lords’;
And that one [d]will call on the name of Jacob;
And another will (J)write [e]on his hand, ‘Belonging to the Lord,’
And will give himself Israel’s name with honor.

For I will pour water upon [a]him that is thirsty, and streams upon the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: and they shall spring up among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.
