The Eternal who made you,
    who formed you in the womb and promised to help you, has this to say:

Eternal One: Don’t be afraid, My servant Jacob,
        My dear Jeshurun—My chosen.
    Like a devoted gardener, I will pour sweet water on parched land,
        streams on hard-packed ground;
    I will pour My spirit on your children and grandchildren—
        and let My blessing flow to your descendants.
    And they will sprout among the grasses, grow vibrant and tall
        like the willow trees lining a riverbank.

This is what the Lord says—
    he who made(A) you, who formed you in the womb,(B)
    and who will help(C) you:
Do not be afraid,(D) Jacob, my servant,(E)
    Jeshurun,[a](F) whom I have chosen.
For I will pour water(G) on the thirsty land,
    and streams on the dry ground;(H)
I will pour out my Spirit(I) on your offspring,
    and my blessing(J) on your descendants.(K)
They will spring up like grass(L) in a meadow,
    like poplar trees(M) by flowing streams.(N)
