Isaiah 56:1-5
1Thus says the Lord, “1Preserve justice and do righteousness, For My 2salvation is about to come And My righteousness to be revealed.2How 3blessed is the man who does this, And the son of man who 4takes hold of it; Who 5keeps from profaning the sabbath, And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”3Let not the 6foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say, “The Lord will surely separate me from His people.” Nor let the 7eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”4For thus says the Lord, “To the eunuchs who 8keep My sabbaths, And choose what pleases Me, And 9hold fast My covenant,5To them I will give in My 10house and within My 11walls a memorial, And a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give 12them an everlasting 13name which 14will not be cut off.
