"And now, give ear, O Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have taken for myself:"
— Isaiah 44:1, Bible in Basic English
And now, give ear, O Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have taken for myself:
The Lord who made you, forming you in your mother's body, the Lord, your helper, says, Have no fear, O Jacob my servant, and you, Jeshurun, whom I have taken for myself.
For I will send water on the land needing it, and streams on the dry earth: I will let my spirit come down on your seed, and my blessing on your offspring.
And they will come up like grass in a well-watered field, like water-plants by the streams.
