Isaiah 56:2-7

2BlessedH835 is the manH120 that doeth this, and the sonH1121 of manH120 that holdeth fastH2388 by it; that keepeth the sabbathH7676 from profaningH2490 it, and keepeth his handH3027 from doingH6213 anyH3605 evilH7451.

3NeitherH408 letH408 the stranger, that hath joinedH914 himselfH413 to the LORDH3068, speakH559, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 will surelyH914 separateH914 meH413 from his peopleH5971: neitherH408 letH408 the eunuchH5631 sayH559, BeholdH2005, I am a dryH3002 treeH6086.

4For thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068 of the eunuchsH5631 that keepH8104 my sabbathsH7676, and chooseH977 the things that please meH2388, and holdH2388 fastH2388 by my covenantH1285:

5Unto them will I giveH5414 in mine houseH1004 and withinH1004 my wallsH2346 a memorialH3027 and a nameH8034 betterH2896 thanH3808 of sonsH1121 and of daughtersH1323; I will giveH5414 them an everlastingH5769 nameH8034, that shall notH3808 be cutH3772 offH3772.

6Also the strangers, that joinH3867 themselvesH5921 to the LORDH3068, to ministerH8334 unto him, and to loveH157 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to be his servantsH5650, everyH3605 one that keepeth the sabbathH7676 from profaningH2490 it, and holdeth fastH2388 by my covenantH1285;

7evenH3588 them will I bringH935 to my holyH6944 mountainH2022, and makeH8055 them joyfulH8055 in my houseH1004 of prayerH8605; their burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and their sacrificesH2077 shall be acceptedH7522 uponH5921 mine altarH4196: for mine houseH1004 shall be calledH7121 an houseH1004 of prayerH8605 for allH3605 peoplesH5971.
