Isaiah 44:1-6 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. Hear then, Jacob, my servant,Israel, whom I have chosen.

2. Thus says the Lord who made you,your help, who formed you from the womb:Do not fear, Jacob, my servant,Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

3. I will pour out water upon the thirsty ground,streams upon the dry land;I will pour out my spirit upon your offspring,my blessing upon your descendants.

4. They shall spring forth amid grasslike poplars beside flowing waters.

5. One shall say, “I am the Lord’s,”another shall be named after Jacob,And this one shall write on his hand, “The Lord’s,”and receive the name Israel.

6. Thus says the Lord, Israel’s king,its redeemer, the Lord of hosts:I am the first, I am the last;there is no God but me.
