Now listen, Jacob my servant, and Israel, whom I have chosen: This is whatweh says, he who made you and formed you in the womb who will help you: "Do not fear, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water on the thirsty ground, and flowing streams on the dry ground; I will pour my Spirit on your offspring and my blessing on your descendants. They will spring up among the grass, like willows by the streams of water. One will say, 'I belong to Yahweh,' and another will call out the name of Jacob, and another will write on his handBelonging to Yahweh,' name himself by the name of Israel." This is what Yahweh says—the King of Israel and his Redeemer, Yahweh of hosts: "I am the first, and I am the last; and there is no God but me. Who is like me? Let him announce it and explain to me the events that occurred since I established my ancient people, and let them declare the events to come. Do not fear or be afraid. Have I not declared to you long ago, and announced it? You are my witnesses: Is there any God besides me? There is no other Rock; I know of none."
