* Thus says Yahweh , "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 holds it fast ; who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it , and keeps his hand from doing any evil ." * Neither let the foreigner , who has joined himself to Yahweh , speak , saying , "Yahweh will surely separate me from his people "; neither let the eunuch say , "Behold , I am a dry tree ." * For thus says Yahweh , "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths , and choose the things that please me , and hold fast my covenant : * to them I will give in my house and within my walls a memorial 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 foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh , to minister to him , and to love the name of Yahweh , to be his servants , everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it , and holds fast 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 a house of prayer for all peoples ." * The Lord Yahweh , who gathers the outcasts of Israel , says , "Yet will I gather others to him , besides his own who are gathered ." * All you animals of the field , come to devour , all you animals in the forest . * His watchmen are blind , they are all without knowledge ; they are all mute dogs , they can 't bark ; dreaming , lying down , loving to slumber . * Yes , the dogs are greedy , they can never have enough ; and these are shepherds who can 't understand : they have all turned to their own way , each one to his gain , from every quarter . * "Come ," say they , "I will get wine , and we will fill ourselves with strong drink ; and tomorrow shall be as this day , great beyond measure ."
