Isaiah 44:1-5

The Voice

44 Eternal One: Nevertheless, listen to Me, My people:
        Jacob, My servant; Israel, My chosen.

² The Eternal who made you,
    who formed you in the womb and promised to help you, has this to say:

Eternal One: Don’t be afraid, My servant Jacob,
        My dear Jeshurun—My chosen.
³     Like a devoted gardener, I will pour sweet water on parched land,
        streams on hard-packed ground;
    I will pour My spirit on your children and grandchildren—
        and let My blessing flow to your descendants.
⁴     And they will sprout among the grasses, grow vibrant and tall
        like the willow trees lining a riverbank.
⁵     One will call out: “I belong to the Eternal.”
        Another will say, “Jacob is my people; Israel my honored name.”
    Yet others will write “Property of the Eternal” on their hands.
