Salvation for All People

56 This is what Yahweh says:

Preserve justice, and do what is right.
    My salvation is about to come.
    My righteousness is about to be revealed.

Blessed is the one who does these things
    and the person who holds on to them.
    Blessed is the one who keeps the day of worship from becoming unholy
    and his hands from doing anything wrong.

Foreigners who have joined Yahweh should not say, “Yahweh will separate us from his people.” Castrated men should not say, “We’re only dead trees!”

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.”
