Isaiah 44:1–3

Israel the Lord’s Chosen

44 “But now hear, bO Jacob my servant,

Israel whom I have chosen!

2  Thus says the Lord who made you,

cwho formed you from the womb and will help you:

dFear not, O Jacob my servant,

eJeshurun whom I have chosen.

3  fFor I will pour water on the thirsty land,

and streams on the dry ground;

I will pour my Spirit upon your offspring,

and my blessing on your descendants.
