Isaiah 56:1-3

International Standard Version

The Covenant Extended to the Righteous

56 For^[a] this is what the Lord says:
    “Maintain justice, and do what is right,
for soon my salvation will come,
    and soon my deliverance will be revealed.
²Blessed is the one who does this,
    and the person that holds it fast,
who observes the Sabbath without profaning it,
    and restrains his hands^[b] from practicing any evil.

³“Let^[c] no foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say:
‘The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.’
Furthermore, let no eunuch say,
‘Look!^[d] I am just a dry tree.’”
