Isaiah 56:3-8
Legacy Standard Bible
3 Let not the (A)foreigner who has joined himself to Yahweh say,
“Yahweh will surely separate me from His people.”
Nor let the (B)eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
4 For thus says Yahweh,
“To the eunuchs who (C)keep My sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And (D)hold fast My covenant,
5 To them I will give in My (E)house and within My (F)walls a [a]memorial,
And a name better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give [b]them an everlasting (G)name which (H)will not be cut off.
6 “Also the (I)foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh,
To minister to Him, and to love the name of Yahweh,
To be His [c]slaves, every one who (J)keeps from profaning the sabbath
And takes hold of My covenant,
7 Even (K)those I will bring to My (L)holy mountain
And (M)make them glad in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on (N)My altar;
For (O)My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
8 Lord Yahweh, who (P)gathers the banished of Israel, declares,
“Yet (Q)others I will gather to [d]them, to those already gathered.”
