Isaiah:56:1-8
Seeker Overlay ON
*
So says Jehovah :
Keep justice and do righteousness ,
for My salvation is near to come ,
and My righteousness to be revealed .
*
Blessed is the man who does this ,
and the son of man who lays hold on it ;
keeping sabbath ,
from defiling it ;
and keeping his hand from doing every evil .
*
And do not let the son of the foreigner speak ,
he who joins himself to Jehovah ,
saying ,
Jehovah surely separates me from His people ;
and not do let the eunuch say ,
Behold ,
I am a dried tree .
*
For so says Jehovah to the eunuchs who keep My sabbaths and choose things I am pleased with ,
and take hold of My covenant :
*
I ,
even I will give to them in My house and in My walls a hand and a name better than sons and than daughters ;
I will give them an everlasting name which shall not be cut off .
*
And the sons of the alien who join themselves on Jehovah to serve Him ,
and to love the name of Jehovah ,
to be His servants ,
everyone who keeps from defiling the sabbath ,
and takes hold of My covenant :
*
even them I will bring to My holy mount and make them joyful in My house of prayer .
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on My altar ,
for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the peoples ,
*
states the Lord Jehovah ,
who gathers the outcasts of Israel ,
I will yet gather beside him his gathered ones .
