Isaiah 56:6-12
6“Also the 1foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, To minister to Him, and to love the name of the Lord, To be His servants, every one who 2keeps from profaning the sabbath And holds fast My covenant;7Even 3those I will bring to My 4holy mountain And 5make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on 6My altar; For 7My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”8The Lord 8God, who 9gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares, “Yet 10others I will gather to 11them, to those already gathered.”
9All you 12beasts of the field, All you beasts in the forest, Come to eat.10His 13watchmen are 14blind, All of them know nothing. All of them are mute dogs unable to bark, 15Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;11And the dogs are 1617greedy, they 18are not satisfied. And they are shepherds who have 19no understanding; They have all 20turned to their own way, Each one to his unjust gain, to the last one.12“Come,” they say, “let 21us get 22wine, and let us drink heavily of strong drink; And 23tomorrow will be like today, only more so.”
