1. This is what the Lord says:Preserve justice and do what is right, for My salvation is coming soon,and My righteousness will be revealed.
2. Happy is the man who does this,anyone who maintains this,who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it,and keeps his hand from doing any evil.
3. No foreigner who has joined himself to the Lordshould say,“The Lord will exclude me from His people”; and the eunuch should not say,“Look, I am a dried-up tree.”
4. For the Lord says this:“For the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,and choose what pleases Me,and hold firmly to My covenant,
5. I will give them, in My house and within My walls,a memorial and a namebetter than sons and daughters.I will give each of them an everlasting namethat will never be cut off.
6. And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lordminister to Him, love the name of Yahwehand become His servants,all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating itand who hold firmly to My covenant —
7. I will bring them to My holy mountain and let them rejoice in My house of prayer.Their burnt offerings and sacrificeswill be acceptable on My altar, for My house will be called a house of prayerfor all nations.”
