Isaiah 56:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Even unto them will I give in mine [a]House and within my walls, a place, and a [b]name better than of the sons and of the daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be put out.
6 Also the strangers that cleave unto the Lord, to serve him, and to love the Name of the Lord, and to be his servants; everyone that keepeth the Sabbath, and polluteth it not, and embraceth my covenant,
7 Them will I bring also to mine holy mountain, and make them joyful in mine House of prayer; their burnt [c]offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar: for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for [d]all people.
