Isaiah 56, verse 1. ¹The Lord says this: “Guard judgment and do righteousness, for My salvation draws near, and My mercy shall be revealed. Isaiah 56, verse 2. ²Blessed is the man who does these things, and the man who lays hold on them; and who keeps the Sabbaths, so as not to profane them, and keeps his hand free from wrongdoing.” Isaiah 56, verse 3. ³Let not the foreigner who is devoted to the Lord say, “The Lord therefore will separate me from His people,” and let not the eunuch say, “I am a withered tree.” Isaiah 56, verse 4. ⁴The Lord says this to the eunuchs: “As many as keep My Sabbaths, and choose the things I will, and lay hold of My covenant, Isaiah 56, verse 5. ⁵I will give them a notable place in My house and within My wall, a place better than that of sons and daughters. I will give them an eternal name, and it shall not fail. Isaiah 56, verse 6. ⁶I will also give an eternal name to the foreigners who devote themselves to the Lord, to serve Him and to love His name, to be His male and female servants, and to all who keep My Sabbaths so as not to profane them, and who hold fast to My covenant. Isaiah 56, verse 7. ⁷I will lead them to My holy mountain and gladden them in My house of prayer. Their whole burnt offerings and sacrifices shall be accepted upon My altar, for My house shall be called House of Prayer for All Nations,” Isaiah 56, verse 8. ⁸says the Lord who gathers the dispersed of Israel; “for I will gather together a congregation to Him.” Isaiah 56, verse 9. ⁹All you wild animals of the fields and all you wild animals of the thicket, come and eat. Isaiah 56, verse 10. ¹⁰See, all are blinded; they do not know how to be discerning; all are dumb dogs unable to bark; dozing on a bed, loving to sleep. Isaiah 56, verse 11. ¹¹They are shameless dogs in their soul and do not know satisfaction. They are evil and have no understanding. All follow their own ways, each according to his own will.
