Isaiah 56:2-4

Contemporary English Version

² I will bless everyone
who respects the Sabbath
    and refuses to do wrong.

³ Foreigners who worship me
    must not say,
“The Lord won't let us
    be part of his people.”
Men who are unable
    to become fathers
must no longer say,
    “We are dried-up trees.”

^4 (A) To them, I, the Lord, say:
    Respect the Sabbath,
    obey me completely,
    and keep our agreement.
