Isaiah 44:3

44:3 For I will pour water on the parched ground ¹ 

and cause streams to flow ²  on the dry land.

I will pour my spirit on your offspring

and my blessing on your children.

Joel 2:29

2:29 Even on male and female servants

I will pour out my Spirit in those days.

John 3:5

3:5 Jesus answered, “I tell you the solemn truth, ³  unless a person is born of water and spirit, ⁴  he cannot enter the kingdom of God.

[44:3]  ¹ tn Heb “the thirsty.” Parallelism suggests that dry ground is in view (see “dry land” in the next line.)

[44:3]  ² tn Heb “and streams”; KJV “floods.” The verb “cause…to flow” is supplied in the second line for clarity and for stylistic reasons.

[3:5]  ³ tn Grk “Truly, truly, I say to you.”

[3:5]  ⁴ tn Or “born of water and wind” (the same Greek word, πνεύματος [pneumatos], may be translated either “spirit/Spirit” or “wind”).
