Isaiah 56:5-7
International Standard Version
5 to them I will give in my house[a] and within my walls
a monument and a name
better than sons and daughters.
I will give them[b] an everlasting name
that will not be cut off.[c]
6 “Also, the foreigners who join themselves to[d] the Lord,
to minister to him,
to love the name of the Lord,[e]
to be his servants,
and to bless the Lord’s name,
observing[f] the Sabbath without profaning it,
and who hold fast my covenant—
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain,
and make them joyful in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
will rise up to be accepted[g] on my altar;
for my house will be called a house of prayer
for everyone.”[h]
