Isaiah 56:1-5

1ThusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “1PreserveH8104 justiceH4941 and doH6213 righteousnessH6666, For My 2salvationH3444 is aboutH7138 to comeH935 And My righteousnessH6666 to be revealedH1540.2How 3blessedH835 is the manH582 who doesH6213 thisH2088, And the sonH1121 of manH120 who 4takesH2388 holdH2388 of it; Who 5keepsH8104 from profaningH2490 the sabbathH7676, And keepsH8104 his handH3027 from doingH6213 anyH3605 evilH7451.”3Let not the 6foreignerH1121 H5236 who has joinedH3867 himself to the LordH3068 sayH559, “The LordH3068 will surelyH914 separateH914 me from His peopleH5971.” NorH408 let the 7eunuchH5631 sayH559, “BeholdH2005, I am a dryH3002 treeH6086.”4For thusH3541 saysH559 the LordH3068, “To the eunuchsH5631 whoH834 8keepH8104 My sabbathsH7676, And chooseH977 whatH834 pleasesH2654 Me, And 9holdH2388 fastH2388 My covenantH1285,5To them I will giveH5414 in My 10houseH1004 and within My 11wallsH2346 a memorialH3027, And a nameH8034 betterH2896 thanH4480 that of sonsH1121 and daughtersH1323; I will giveH5414 12them an everlastingH5769 13nameH8034 whichH834 14will not be cutH3772 offH3772.
