Isaiah 56:6-12

New International Version

⁶And foreigners^(A) who bind themselves to the Lord
    to minister^(B) to him,
to love the name^(C) of the Lord,
    and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath^(D) without desecrating it
    and who hold fast to my covenant—
⁷these I will bring to my holy mountain^(E)
    and give them joy in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices^(F)
    will be accepted on my altar;
for my house will be called
    a house of prayer for all nations.^(G)”^(H)
⁸The Sovereign Lord declares—
    he who gathers the exiles of Israel:
“I will gather^(I) still others to them
    besides those already gathered.”

God’s Accusation Against the Wicked

⁹Come, all you beasts of the field,^(J)
    come and devour, all you beasts of the forest!
¹⁰Israel’s watchmen^(K) are blind,
    they all lack knowledge;^(L)
they are all mute dogs,
    they cannot bark;
they lie around and dream,
    they love to sleep.^(M)
¹¹They are dogs with mighty appetites;
    they never have enough.
They are shepherds^(N) who lack understanding;^(O)
    they all turn to their own way,^(P)
    they seek their own gain.^(Q)
¹²“Come,” each one cries, “let me get wine!^(R)
    Let us drink our fill of beer!
And tomorrow will be like today,
    or even far better.”^(S)
