New International Version

Isaiah 44:1-5 New International Version (NIV)

1. “But now listen, 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, 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. Some will say, ‘I belong to the Lord’; others will call themselves by the name of Jacob; still others will write on their hand, ‘The Lord’s,’ and will take the name Israel.
