Isaiah 56:6-12
6“Also the 1foreignersH1121H5236 who joinH3867 themselves to the LordH3068, To attendH8334 to His serviceH8334 and to loveH157 the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, To be His servantsH5650, everyH3605 oneH3605 who 2keepsH8104 the SabbathH7676 so as not to profaneH2490 it, And holdsH2388 firmlyH2388 to My covenantH1285;7Even 3those I will bringH935 to My 4holyH6944 mountainH2022, And 5makeH8055 them joyfulH8055 in My houseH1004 of prayerH8605. Their burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and their sacrificesH2077 will be acceptableH7522 on 6My altarH4196; For 7My houseH1004 will be calledH7121 a houseH1004 of prayerH8605 for allH3605 the peoplesH5971.”8The LordH136 8GodH3068, who 9gathersH6908 the dispersedH5080 of IsraelH3478, declaresH5002, “I will yetH5750 gatherH6908 10others to 11them, to those already gatheredH6908.”
9AllH3605 you 1213wildH7706 animalsH2421, AllH3605 you animalsH2421 in the forestH3293, ComeH857 to eatH398.10His 14watchmenH6822 are 15blindH5787, AllH3605 of them knowH3045 nothingH3808. AllH3605 of them are muteH483 dogsH3611 unableH3808H3201 to barkH5024, DreamersH1957 lyingH7901 downH7901, who loveH157 to slumberH5123;11And the dogsH3611 are 1617greedyH5315H5794, they 18are neverH3808 satisfiedH3045H7654. And they are shepherdsH7462 who haveH3045 19noH3808 understandingH995; They have allH3605 20turnedH6437 to their own wayH1870, EachH376 oneH376 to his unjustH1215 gainH1215, 21withoutH4480 exceptionH7097.12“ComeH857,” they say, “22let’s getH3947 23wineH3196, and let’s drinkH5433 heavilyH5433 of intoxicatingH7941 drinkH7941; And 24tomorrowH4279 will be like todayH2088H3117, only moreH1419H3499H3966 so.”
