Isaiah 56:2-8

2BlessedH835 is the manH582 that doethH6213 this, and the sonH1121 of manH120 that layeth holdH2388 on it; that keepethH8104 the sabbathH7676 from profaningH2490 it, and keepethH8104 his handH3027 from doingH6213 any evilH7451.

3Neither let the sonH1121 of the foreignerH5236, that hath joinedH3867 himself to the LORDH3068, speakH559, sayingH559, The LORDH3068 hath utterlyH914 separatedH914 me from his peopleH5971: neither let the eunuchH5631 sayH559, Behold, I am a dryH3002 treeH6086. 4For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 to the eunuchsH5631 that keepH8104 my sabbathsH7676, and chooseH977 the things that pleaseH2654 me, and take holdH2388 of my covenantH1285; 5Even to them will I giveH5414 in my houseH1004 and within my wallsH2346 a placeH3027 and a nameH8034 betterH2896 than of sonsH1121 and of daughtersH1323: I will giveH5414 them an everlastingH5769 nameH8034, that shall not be cut offH3772. 6Also the sonsH1121 of the foreignerH5236, that joinH3867 themselves to the LORDH3068, to serveH8334 him, and to loveH157 the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068, to be his servantsH5650, every one that keepethH8104 the sabbathH7676 from profaningH2490 it, and taketh holdH2388 of my covenantH1285; 7Even them will I bringH935 to my holyH6944 mountainH2022, and make them joyfulH8055 in my houseH1004 of prayerH8605: their burnt offeringsH5930 and their sacrificesH2077 shall be acceptedH7522 upon my altarH4196; for my houseH1004 shall be calledH7121 an houseH1004 of prayerH8605 for all peopleH5971. 8The LordH136 GODH3069 who gatherethH6908 the outcastsH1760 of IsraelH3478H5002, Yet will I gatherH6908 others to him, besides those that are gatheredH6908 to him.1
