The Lord Will Save Those Who Come to Him

56 The Lord says,

“Do what is fair and right.
    I will soon come and save you.
    Soon everyone will know that what I do is right.
Blessed is the person who does what I want them to.
    They are faithful in keeping the Sabbath day.
They do not misuse it.
    They do not do what is evil on that day.”

Suppose an outsider wants to follow the Lord.
    Then that person shouldn’t say,
    “The Lord won’t accept me as one of his people.”
And a eunuch shouldn’t say,
    “I’m like a dry tree
    that doesn’t bear any fruit.”

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.”
