Isaiah 56:7-9
EasyEnglish Bible

7 Then I will bring them to my holy mountain.[a]

I will make them happy in my house, where people pray to me.

I will accept their burnt offerings and sacrifices,

    when they offer them to me on my altar.
People will call my temple,
    “A house where people from all nations may pray.” ’[b]

8 The Almighty Lord is the one who brings together all the Israelite people who are in exile. He says, ‘I will continue to bring more people to join with them.’

God warns Israel's leaders

9 ‘Come here, you wild animals!
    Come, you wild animals that live in the forest!
Come and eat my people![c]
