Salvation for the Nations

56 Thus says the Lord:

Preserve justice
    and do righteousness,
for My salvation is about to come
    and My righteousness to be revealed.
Blessed is the man who does this,
    and the son of man who takes hold of it,
who keeps from polluting the Sabbath
    and keeps his hand from doing any evil.

Do not let the son of the foreigner
    who has joined himself to the Lord
speak, saying,
    “The Lord has utterly separated me from His people”;
do not let the eunuch say,
    “I am only a dry tree.”

Salvation for Others

56 This is what the Lord says:

“Maintain justice(A)
    and do what is right,(B)
for my salvation(C) is close at hand
    and my righteousness(D) will soon be revealed.
Blessed(E) is the one who does this—
    the person who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath(F) without desecrating it,
    and keeps their hands from doing any evil.”

Let no foreigner(G) who is bound to the Lord say,
    “The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.”(H)
And let no eunuch(I) complain,
    “I am only a dry tree.”
