1. And now, listen, Jacob, my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen.
2. Thus says the Lord, who made and formed you, your Helper from the womb: Do not be afraid, Jacob, my servant and my most righteous, whom I have chosen.
3. For I will pour out waters upon the thirsty ground, and rivers upon the dry land. I will pour out my Spirit upon your offspring, and my benediction upon your stock.
4. And they will spring up among the plants, like willows beside running waters.
