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.
They will spring up amid the grass
    like willows besides flowing waters.

    while another will call himself a son of Jacob.
And on his hand still another will write “The Lord’s,”
    and adopt Israel as a surname.
