The Book of Isaiah (WEB)
56: 1Thus says Yahweh, Keep you justice, and do righteousness; for my salvation is near to
come, and my righteousness to be revealed. 56:2Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of
man who holds it fast; who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing
any evil. 56:3Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to Yahweh, speak, saying, Yahweh
will surely separate me from his people; neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. 56:4For
thus says Yahweh of the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose the things that please me,
and hold fast my covenant: 56:5To them will I give in my house and within my walls a memorial
and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall
not be cut off. 56:6Also the foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh, to minister to him, and to
love the name of Yahweh, to be his servants, everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it,
and holds fast my covenant; 56:7even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful
in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on my altar; for
my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. 56:8The Lord Yahweh, who gathers the
outcasts of Israel, says, Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered. 56:9All
you animals of the field, come to devour, yes, all you animals in the forest. 56:10His watchmen are
blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they can't bark; dreaming, lying
down, loving to slumber. 56:11Yes, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are
shepherds who can't understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from
every quarter. 56:12Come you, say they, I will get wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink;
and tomorrow shall be as this day, a day great beyond measure.
