“I will give water to the thirsty land
    and make streams flow on the dry ground.
I will pour out my spirit on your children
    and my blessing on your descendants.
They will thrive like well-watered grass,
    like willows by streams of running water.

“One by one, people will say, ‘I am the Lord's.’
    They will come to join the people of Israel.
They each will mark the name of the Lord on their arms
    and call themselves one of God's people.”

For I will pour water(A) on the thirsty land,
    and streams on the dry ground;(B)
I will pour out my Spirit(C) on your offspring,
    and my blessing(D) on your descendants.(E)
They will spring up like grass(F) in a meadow,
    like poplar trees(G) by flowing streams.(H)
Some will say, ‘I belong(I) to the Lord’;
    others will call themselves by the name of Jacob;
still others will write on their hand,(J) ‘The Lord’s,’(K)
    and will take the name Israel.
