Isaiah 56:2-8

2BlessedH835 is the manH582 who doesH6213 thisH2063, and the sonH1121 of manH120 who holds it fastH2388, who keepsH8104 the SabbathH7676 without profaning itH2490 and keepsH8104 his handH3027 from doingH6213 anyH3605 evilH7451.”

3Let noH408 foreignerH1121 H5236 who has joined himselfH3867 toH413 the LORDH3068 sayH559 ,“The LORDH3068 will utterly exclude meH914 fromH5921 His peopleH5971.”And let the eunuchH5631 notH408 sayH559,“IH589 am butH2005 a dryH3002 treeH6086.”

4ForH3588 this is whatH3541 the LORDH3068 saysH559:

“To the eunuchsH5631 whoH834 keepH8104 My SabbathsH7676,who chooseH977 whatH834 pleases MeH2654and hold fastH2388 to My covenantH1285—5I will giveH5414 them, in My houseH1004 and within My wallsH2346,a memorialH3027 and a nameH8034better thanH2896 that of sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323.I will giveH5414 them an everlastingH5769 nameH8034thatH834 will notH3808 be cut offH3772.

6And the foreignersH1121 H5236 who joinH3867 themselves toH5921 the LORDH3068to minister to HimH8334,to loveH157 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068,and to beH1961 His servantsH5650—allH3605 who keepH8104 the SabbathH7676 without profaning itH2490and who hold fastH2388 to My covenantH1285—7I will bring themH935 toH413 My holyH6944 mountainH2022and make them joyfulH8055 in My houseH1004 of prayerH8605.Their burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077will be acceptedH7522 onH5921 My altarH4196,forH3588 My houseH1004 will be calledH7121 a houseH1004 of prayerH8605 1for allH3605 the nationsH5971.”

8Thus declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069,who gathersH6908 the dispersedH5080 of IsraelH3478:

“I will gatherH6908 to themH5921 still othersH5750besides those already gatheredH6908.”
