Isaiah 56:6-12

6“Also the 1foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, To attend to His service and to love the name of the Lord, To be His servants, every one who 2keeps the Sabbath so as not to profane it, And holds firmly to 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, “I will yet gather 10others to 11them, to those already gathered.”

9All you 1213wild animals, All you animals in the forest, Come to eat.10His 14watchmen are 15blind, All of them know nothing. All of them are mute dogs unable to bark, Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;11And the dogs are 1617greedy, they 18are never satisfied. And they are shepherds who have 19no understanding; They have all 20turned to their own way, Each one to his unjust gain, 21without exception.12“Come,” they say, “22let’s get 23wine, and let’s drink heavily of intoxicating drink; And 24tomorrow will be like today, only more so.”
