1Thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068>, "Preserve<8104> justice<4941> and do<6213> righteousness<6666>, For My salvation<3444> is about<7138> to come<935> And My righteousness<6666> to be revealed<1540>.
2"How blessed<835> is the man<582> who does<6213> this<384>, And the son<1121> of man<120> who takes<2388> hold<2388> of it; Who keeps<8104> from profaning<2490> the sabbath<7676>, And keeps<8104> his hand<3027> from doing<6213> any<3605> evil<7451>."
3Let not the foreigner<1121><5236> who has joined<3867> himself to the LORD<3068> say<559>, "The LORD<3068> will surely<914> separate<914> me from His people<5971>." Nor<408> let the eunuch<5631> say<559>, "Behold<2005>, I am a dry<3002> tree<6086>."
4For thus<3541> says<559> the LORD<3068>, "To the eunuchs<5631> who<834> keep<8104> My sabbaths<7676>, And choose<977> what<834> pleases<2654> Me, And hold<2388> fast<2388> My covenant<1285>,
5To them I will give<5414> in My house<1004> and within My walls<2346> a memorial<3027>, And a name<8034> better<2896> than<4480> that of sons<1121> and daughters<1323>; I will give<5414> them an everlasting<5769> name<8034> which<834> will not be cut<3772> off<3772>.
6"Also the foreigners<1121><5236> who join<3867> themselves to the LORD<3068>, To minister<8334> to Him, and to love<157> the name<8034> of the LORD<3068>, To be His servants<5650>, every<3605> one<3605> who keeps<8104> from profaning<2490> the sabbath<7676> And holds<2388> fast<2388> My covenant<1285>;
7Even those I will bring<935> to My holy<6944> mountain<2022> And make<8055> them joyful<8055> in My house<1004> of prayer<8605>. Their burnt<5930> offerings<5930> and their sacrifices<2077> will be acceptable<7522> on My altar<4196>; For My house<1004> will be called<7121> a house<1004> of prayer<8605> for all<3605> the peoples<5971>."
8The Lord<136> GOD<3068>, who gathers<6908> the dispersed<5080> of Israel<3478>, declares<5002>, "Yet<5750> others I will gather<6908> to them, to those already gathered<6908>."
9All<3605> you beasts<2421> of the field<7706>, All<3605> you beasts<2421> in the forest<3293>, Come<857> to eat<398>.
10His watchmen<6822> are blind<5787>, All<3605> of them know<3045> nothing<3808>. All<3605> of them are mute<483> dogs<3611> unable<3808><3201> to bark<5024>, Dreamers<1957> lying<7901> down<7901>, who love<157> to slumber<5123>;
11And the dogs<3611> are greedy<5315><5794>, they are not satisfied<3045><7654>. And they are shepherds<7462> who have<3045> no<3808> understanding<995>; They have all<3605> turned<6437> to their own way<1870>, Each<376> one<376> to his unjust<1215> gain<1215>, to the last<7097> one<7097>.
12"Come<857>," they say, "let us get<3947> wine<3196>, and let us drink<7941> heavily<5433> of strong<7941> drink<5433>; And tomorrow<4279> will be like today<2088><3117>, only more<1419><3499><3966> so."
