1. This is what the lord says:“Be just and fair to all.Do what is right and good,for I am coming soon to rescue youand to display my righteousness among you.
2. Blessed are all thosewho are careful to do this.Blessed are those who honor my Sabbath days of restand keep themselves from doing wrong.
3. “Don’t let foreigners who commit themselves to the lord say,‘The lord will never let me be part of his people.’And don’t let the eunuchs say,‘I’m a dried-up tree with no children and no future.’
4. For this is what the lord says:I will bless those eunuchswho keep my Sabbath days holyand who choose to do what pleases meand commit their lives to me.
5. I will give them—within the walls of my house—a memorial and a namefar greater than sons and daughters could give.For the name I give them is an everlasting one.It will never disappear!
