All Nations Will Obey the Lord

56 This is what the Lord says:

“Give justice to all people,
    and do what is right,
because my salvation will come to you soon.
    Soon everyone will know that I do what is right.
The person who obeys the law about the Sabbath
    will be blessed,
and the person who does no evil
    will be blessed.”

Foreigners who have joined the Lord should not say,
    “The Lord will not accept me with his people.”
The eunuch should not say,
    “Because I cannot have children, the Lord will not accept me.”

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.”
