For I’ll pour water upon thirsty ground
    and streams on parched land.
So[a] will I pour my Spirit upon your offspring,
    and my blessing upon your descendants.
They’ll[b] spring up as among[c] the green grass,
    like willows by flowing streams.
One will say, ‘I belong to the Lord,’
    and another will call himself by the name of Jacob;
still another will have written on his hand, ‘the Lord’s,’
    and will adopt the name of Israel.”
