Dual Panel1This is what <03541> the Lord <03068> says <0559>, “Promote <08104> justice <04941>! Do <06213> what is right <06666>! For <03588> I am ready <07138> to deliver <03444> you; I am ready <0935> to vindicate <06666> you openly <01540>.
2The people <0376> who do <06213> this <02063> will be blessed <0835>, the people <0120> <01121> who commit <02388> themselves to obedience <02388>, who observe <08104> the Sabbath <07676> and do not defile <02490> it, who refrain <03027> <08104> from doing <06213> anything <03605> that is wrong <07451>.
3No <0408> foreigner <05236> <01121> who becomes a follower <03867> of <0413> the Lord <03068> should say <0559>, ‘The Lord <03068> will certainly exclude <0914> <0914> me from <05921> his people <05971>.’ The eunuch <05631> should not <0408> say <0559>, ‘Look <02005>, I <0589> am like a dried-up <03002> tree <06086>.’”
4For <03588> this is what <03541> the Lord <03068> says <0559>: “For the eunuchs <05631> who <0834> observe <08104> my Sabbaths <07676> and choose <0977> what <0834> pleases <02654> me and are faithful <02388> to my covenant <01285>,
5I will set up <05414> within my temple <01004> and my walls <02346> a monument <08034> <03027> that will be better <02896> than sons <01121> and daughters <01323>. I will set up <05414> a permanent <05769> monument <08034> for them that <0834> will remain <03772>.
6As for foreigners <05236> <01121> who become followers <03867> of <05921> the Lord <03068> and serve <08334> him, who love <0157> the name <08034> of the Lord <03068> and want to be <01961> his servants <05650>– all <03605> who observe <08104> the Sabbath <07676> and do not defile <02490> it, and who are faithful <02388> to my covenant <01285>–
7I will bring <0935> them to <0413> my holy <06944> mountain <02022>; I will make <08055> them happy <08055> in the temple <01004> where people pray <08605> to me. Their burnt offerings <05930> and sacrifices <02077> will be accepted <07522> on <05921> my altar <04196>, for <03588> my temple <01004> will be known <07121> as a temple <01004> where all <03605> nations <05971> may pray <08605>.”
8The sovereign <03069> Lord <0136> says <05002> this, the one who gathers <06908> the dispersed <01760> of Israel <03478>: “I will still <05750> gather <06908> them up <06908>.”
9All <03605> you wild animals <02416> in the fields <07704>, come <0857> and devour <0398>, all <03605> you wild animals <02416> in the forest <03293>!
10All <03605> their watchmen <06822> are blind <05787>, they are unaware <03045> <03808>. All <03605> of them are like mute <0483> dogs <03611>, unable <03201> <03808> to bark <05024>. They pant <01957>, lie down <07901>, and love <0157> to snooze <05123>.
11The dogs <03611> have big appetites <05315> <05794>; they are never <03808> full <07646> <03045>. They <01992> are shepherds <07462> who have <03045> no <03808> understanding <0995>; they all <03605> go <06437> their own way <01870>, each one <0376> looking for monetary gain <07097> <01215>.
12Each one says, ‘Come <0857> on, I’ll get <03947> some wine <03196>! Let’s guzzle <05433> some beer <07941>! Tomorrow <04279> will be <01961> just like today <03117> <02088>! We’ll have everything we want <03966> <03499> <01419>!’
