and cause streams to flow on the dry land.

I will pour my spirit on your offspring

and my blessing on your children.

like poplars beside channels of water.

One will write on his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’

and use the name ‘Israel.’”

were worth their weight in gold –

Alas! – but now they are treated like broken clay pots,

made by a potter.
