Isaiah 56:1-8

Lexham English Bible

“Observe justice
    and do righteousness,
for my salvation is close to coming,
    and my justice to being revealed.
² Happy is the man who does this,
    and the son of humankind who keeps hold of it,
who keeps the Sabbath so as not to profane^[a] it,
    and who keeps his hand from doing any^[b] evil.”
³ And do not let the foreigner^[c] who joins himself to Yahweh say, “Surely Yahweh will separate me from his people.”
    And do not let the eunuch say, “Look! I am a dry tree!”
⁴ For thus says Yahweh, “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,
    and choose that in which I delight,
    and who keep hold of my covenant.
⁵ And I will give them a monument and a name in my house and within my walls,
    better than sons and daughters;
I will give him an everlasting name
    that shall not be cut off.
⁶ And the foreigners^[d] who join themselves to Yahweh to serve him
    and to love the name of Yahweh, to become his servants,
every one who keeps the Sabbath, so as not to profane^[e] it,
    and those who keep hold of my covenant,
⁷ I will bring them to my holy mountain;^[f]
    I will make them merry in my house of prayer.
their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted^[g] on my altar,
    for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples,”
