This is the word of the Lord
your Maker, the one who formed you from the womb:
He will help you.
Do not fear, Jacob my servant,
Jeshurun[a] whom I have chosen.(A)
For I will pour water on the thirsty land
and streams on the dry ground;
I will pour out my Spirit(B) on your descendants
and my blessing on your offspring.
They will sprout among[b] the grass
like poplars by flowing streams.
