New Testament

Isaiah 56:7-12 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

7. Them I will bring to my holy mountainand make them joyful in my house of prayer;Their burnt offerings and their sacrificeswill be acceptable on my altar,For my house shall be calleda house of prayer for all peoples.

8. Oracle of the Lord God,who gathers the dispersed of Israel—Others will I gather to thembesides those already gathered.

9. All you beasts of the field,come to devour,all you beasts in the forest!

10. All the sentinels of Israel are blind,they are without knowledge;They are all mute dogs,unable to bark;Dreaming, reclining,loving their sleep.

11. Yes, the dogs have a ravenous appetite;they never know satiety,Shepherds who have no understanding;all have turned their own way,each one covetous for gain:

12. “Come, let me bring wine;let us fill ourselves with strong drink,And tomorrow will be like today,or even greater.”
