Isaiah
Chapter 44: 1-5
Israel the Chosen
1
"But now listen, O Jacob, my servant,
Israel, whom I have chosen.
2 This is
what the LORD says—
he who made you, who formed you in the womb,
and who will help you:
Do not be afraid, O Jacob, my servant,
Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.
3 For I
will pour water on the thirsty land,
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring,
and my blessing on your descendants.
4 They
will spring up like grass in a meadow,
like poplar trees by flowing streams.
5 One will
say, 'I belong to the LORD ';
another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
still another will write on his hand, 'The LORD's,'
and will take the name Israel.
