Isaiah 56:2-4
New International Reader's Version
2 Blessed is the person who does what I want them to.
They are faithful in keeping the Sabbath day.

3 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.”

“Suppose some eunuchs keep my Sabbath days.
They choose to do what pleases me.
And they are faithful in keeping my covenant.

who keeps the Sabbath(B) without desecrating it,
and keeps their hands from doing any evil.”
3 Let no foreigner(C) who is bound to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.”(D)
And let no eunuch(E) complain,
“I am only a dry tree.”
4 For this is what the Lord says:
