For I will pour out water on a thirsty land
    and streams on dry ground.
I will pour my spirit out on your descendants[a]
    and my blessing on your offspring.
And they shall sprout among[b] the grass
    like willows by a watercourse of water.
This one will say, ‘I belong to Yahweh!’
    And that one will be called by the name of Jacob,
and another will write on his hand ‘Yahweh’s’
    and take the name[c] of Israel.”
