Isaiah 56
56:1

Thus saith559 Yahweh,3068 Keep8104 ye judgment,4941 and do6213 justice:6666 for my salvation3444 is near7138 to come,935 and my righteousness6666 to be revealed.1540

56:2

Blessed835 is the man582 that doeth6213 this, and the son1121 of man120 that layeth hold2388 on it; that keepeth8104 the sabbath7676 from polluting2490 it, and keepeth8104 his hand3027 from doing6213 any evil.7451

56:3

Neither let the son1121 of the stranger,5236 that hath joined3867 himself to Yahweh,3068 speak,559 saying,559 Yahweh3068 hath utterly914 separated914 me from his people:5971 neither let the eunuch5631 say,559 Behold, I am a dry3002 tree.6086

56:4

For thus saith559 Yahweh3068 unto the eunuchs5631 that keep8104 my sabbaths,7676 and choose977 the things that please2654 me, and take hold2388 of my covenant;1285

56:5

Even unto them will I give5414 in mine house1004 and within my walls2346 a place3027 and a name8034 better2896 than of sons1121 and of daughters:1323 I will give5414 them an everlasting5769 name,8034 that shall not be cut off.3772

56:6

Also the sons1121 of the stranger,5236 that join3867 themselves to Yahweh,3068 to serve8334 him, and to love157 the name8034 of Yahweh,3068 to be his servants,5650 every one that keepeth8104 the sabbath7676 from polluting2490 it, and taketh hold2388 of my covenant;1285

56:7

Even them will I bring935 to my holy6944 mountain,2022 and make them joyful8055 in my house1004 of prayer:8605 their burnt offerings5930 and their sacrifices2077 shall be accepted7522 upon mine altar;4196 for mine house1004 shall be called7121 an house1004 of prayer8605 for all people.5971

56:8

My Sovereign136 Yahweh3069 which gathereth6908 the outcasts1760 of Israel3478 saith,5002 Yet will I gather6908 others to him, beside those that are gathered6908 unto him.

56:9

All ye beasts2416 of the field,7704 come857 to devour,398 yea, all ye beasts2416 in the forest.3293

56:10

His watchmen6822 are blind:5787 they are all ignorant,3808 they are all dumb483 dogs,3611 they cannot3808 bark;5024 sleeping,1957 lying down,7901 loving157 to slumber.5123

56:11

Yea, they are greedy5794 dogs3611 which can never3808 have3045 enough,7654 and they are shepherds7462 that cannot3808 understand:995 they all look6437 to their own way,1870 every one376 for his gain,1215 from his quarter.7097

56:12

Come857 ye, say they, I will fetch3947 wine,3196 and we will fill5433 ourselves with strong drink;7941 and to morrow4279 shall be as this day,3117 and much3966 more1419 abundant.3499
