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.

God’s Blessing on Israel

44 “But now hear, O Jacob my servant,
    Israel whom I have chosen!
Thus says the Lord who made you,
    who formed you from the womb and will help you:
Fear not, O Jacob my servant,
    Jesh′urun whom I have chosen.
For I will pour water on the thirsty land,
    and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour my Spirit upon your descendants,
    and my blessing on your offspring.
They shall spring up like grass amid waters,[a]
    like willows by flowing streams.
This one will say, ‘I am the Lord’s,’
    another will call himself by the name of Jacob,
and another will write on his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’
    and surname himself by the name of Israel.”
