6And the foreignersH1121H5236 who joinH3867 themselves toH5921 the LORDH3068 to minister to HimH8334, to loveH157 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, and to beH1961 His servantsH5650— allH3605 who keepH8104 the SabbathH7676 without profaning itH2490 and who hold fastH2388 to My covenantH1285—7I will bring themH935 toH413 My holyH6944 mountainH2022 and make them joyfulH8055 in My houseH1004 of prayerH8605. Their burnt offeringsH5930 and sacrificesH2077 will be acceptedH7522 onH5921 My altarH4196, forH3588 My houseH1004 will be calledH7121 a houseH1004 of prayerH86051 for allH3605 the nationsH5971.”

8Thus declaresH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069,who gathersH6908 the dispersedH5080 of IsraelH3478:
“I will gatherH6908 to themH5921 still othersH5750besides those already gatheredH6908.”
9ComeH857, allH3605 you beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704;eat greedilyH398, allH3605 you beastsH2416 of the forestH3293.10Israel’s watchmenH6822 are blindH5787,they are allH3605 obliviousH3045H3808;they are allH3605 muteH483 dogsH3611,they cannotH3808H3201 barkH5024;they are dreamersH1957 lying aroundH7901,lovingH157 to slumberH5123.11Like ravenous dogsH3611H5794H5315,they are neverH3808 satisfiedH3045H7654.TheyH1992 are shepherdsH7462 withH3045 noH3808 discernmentH995;they allH3605 turnH6437 to their own wayH1870,eachH7097 oneH376 seeking his own gainH1215:12“ComeH857, let me getH3947 the wineH3196,let us imbibeH5433 the strong drinkH7941,and tomorrowH4279 will beH1961 like todayH2088H3117,only farH3966H3499 betterH1419!”
