Isaiah 56:1-5
1This is what the Lord says: “1Guard justice and do righteousness, For My 2salvation is about to come And My righteousness to be revealed.23Blessed is a man who does this, And a 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 certainly separate me from His people.” Nor let the 7eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”4For this is what the Lord says: “To the eunuchs who 8keep My Sabbaths, And choose what pleases Me, And 9hold firmly to 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 eliminated.
