Isaiah 44 New International Version ( NIV ) Israel the Chosen 44 “ But now listen , Jacob , my servant , Israel , whom I have chosen . 2 This is what the Lord says — he who made you , who formed you in the womb , and who will help you : Do not be afraid , Jacob , my servant , Jeshurun , [ a ] whom I have chosen . 3 For I will pour water on the thirsty land , and streams on the dry ground ; I will pour out my Spirit on your offspring , offspring 듣 기 반복 듣 기 자식 , 자손 , 새끼 reproduce offspring 자손 을 번식 시키 다 produce offspring 자손 을 낳 다 and my blessing on your descendants . 4 They will spring up like grass in a meadow , like poplar trees by flowing streams . 5 Some will say , ‘ I belong to the Lord ’; others will call themselves by the name of Jacob ; still others will write on their hand , ‘ The Lord ’ s , ’ and will take the name Israel .
