Isaiah 44:1-5
1599 Geneva Bible
44 1 The Lord promiseth comfort, and that he will assemble his Church of divers nations. 9 The vanity of Idols. 17 The beastliness of idolaters.
1 Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have chosen.
2 Thus saith the Lord, that made thee, and formed [a]thee from the womb: he will help thee. Fear not, O Jacob, my servant, and thou righteous [b]whom I have chosen.
3 For I will pour water upon the [c]thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thy buds.
4 And they [d]shall grow as among the grass, and as the willows by the rivers of waters.
5 One shall say, I am the Lord’s: another [e]shall be called by the name of Jacob: and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord, and name himself by the name of Israel.
