Isaiah 44:3-5
The Message
Isaiah 44:3-5
The Message
Proud to Be Called Israel
44 1-5 “But for now, dear servant Jacob, listen—
yes, you, Israel, my personal choice.
God who made you has something to say to you;
the God who formed you in the womb wants to help you.
Don’t be afraid, dear servant Jacob,
Jeshurun, the one I chose.
For I will pour water on the thirsty ground
and send streams coursing through the parched earth.
I will pour my Spirit into your descendants
and my blessing on your children.
They shall sprout like grass on the prairie,
like willows alongside creeks.
This one will say, ‘I am God’s,’
and another will go by the name Jacob;
That one will write on his hand ‘God’s property’—
and be proud to be called Israel.”
Isaiah 44:3-5
New International Version
Isaiah 44:3-5
New International Version
3 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)
4 They will spring up like grass(F) in a meadow,
like poplar trees(G) by flowing streams.(H)
5 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.
