* Thus says the LORD : "Keep justice , and do righteousness , For My salvation is about 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 ; Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath , And keeps his hand from doing any evil ." * Do not let the son of the foreigner Who has joined himself to the LORD Speak , saying , "The LORD has utterly separated me from His people "; Nor let the eunuch say , "Here I am , a dry tree ." * For thus says the LORD : "To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths , And choose what pleases Me , And hold fast My covenant , * Even to them I will give in My house And within My walls a place and a name Better than that of sons and daughters ; I will give them an everlasting name That shall not be cut off . * "Also the sons of the foreigner Who join themselves to the LORD , to serve Him , And to love the name of the LORD , to be His servants -- Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath , And holds fast My covenant -- * Even them I will bring to My holy mountain , And make them joyful in My house of prayer . Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices Will be accepted on My altar ; For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations ." * The Lord GOD , who gathers the outcasts of Israel , says , "Yet I will gather to him Others besides those who are gathered to him ." * All you beasts of the field , come to devour , 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 never have enough . And they are shepherds Who cannot understand ; They all look to their own way , Every one for his own gain , From his own territory . * "Come ," one says , "I will bring wine , And we will fill ourselves with intoxicating drink ; Tomorrow will be as today , And much more abundant ."
