Isaiah 56:2-6

2Blessed is the manH120 that doeth this, and the sonH1121 of manH120 that holdeth it fast; that keepeth the sabbathH7676 from profaningH2490 it, and keepeth his handH3027 from doing any evilH7451. 3Neither let the foreigner, that hath joined himself to Jehovah, speak, sayingH559, Jehovah will surely separateH914 me from his peopleH5971; neither let the eunuchH5631 sayH559, Behold, I am a dryH3002 treeH6086. 4For thusH3541 saith Jehovah of the eunuchsH5631 that keepH8104 my sabbathsH7676, and chooseH977 the things that please me, and holdH2388 fast my covenantH1285: 5Unto them will I giveH5414 in my houseH1004 and within my wallsH2346 a memorial and a nameH8034 betterH2896 than of sonsH1121 and of daughtersH1323; I will giveH5414 them an everlasting nameH8034, that shall not be cutH3772 off.
