Isaiah:56
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Thus said the LORD ,
Keep you judgment ,
and do justice :
for my salvation is near to come ,
and my righteousness to be revealed .
*
Blessed is the man that does this ,
and the son of man that lays hold on it ;
that keeps the sabbath from polluting it ,
and keeps his hand from doing any evil .
*
Neither let the son of the stranger ,
that has joined himself to the LORD ,
speak ,
saying ,
The LORD has utterly separated me from his people :
neither let the eunuch say ,
Behold ,
I am a dry tree .
*
For thus said the LORD to the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths ,
and choose the things that please me ,
and take hold of my covenant ;
*
Even to them will I give in my house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters :
I will give them an everlasting name ,
that shall not be cut off .
*
Also the sons of the stranger ,
that join themselves to the LORD ,
to serve him ,
and to love the name of the LORD ,
to be his servants ,
every one that keeps the sabbath from polluting it ,
and takes hold of my covenant ;
*
Even them will I bring to my holy mountain ,
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 an house of prayer for all people .
*
The Lord GOD ,
which gathers the outcasts of Israel said ,
Yet will I gather others to him ,
beside those that are gathered to him .
*
All you beasts of the field ,
come to devour ,
yes ,
all you beasts in the forest .
*
His watchmen are blind :
they are all ignorant ,
they are all dumb dogs ,
they cannot bark ;
sleeping ,
lying down ,
loving to slumber .
*
Yes ,
they are greedy dogs which can never have enough ,
and they are shepherds that cannot understand :
they all look to their own way ,
every one for his gain ,
from his quarter .
*
Come you ,
say they ,
I will fetch wine ,
and we will fill ourselves with strong drink ;
and to morrow shall be as this day ,
and much more abundant .
