Chapter 44

Now listen to me, O Jacob, my servant,
    Israel whom I have chosen.
Thus says the Lord who made you,
    who formed you in the womb
    and will continue to help you:
Do not fear, O Jacob, my servant,
    Jeshurun[a] whom I have chosen.
For I will pour down rain on the thirsty land
    and open up streams on the dry ground.
I will pour out my Spirit upon your offspring
    and my blessing upon your descendants.
