LEB(i)
1 Thus says Yahweh:
"Observe justice and do righteousness, for my salvation is close to coming, and my justice to being revealed. 2 Happy is the man who does this, and the son of humankind who keeps hold of it, who keeps the Sabbath ⌊so as not to profane⌋* it, and who keeps his hand from doing any* evil." 3 And do not let the ⌊foreigner⌋* who joins himself to Yahweh say, "Surely Yahweh will separate me from his people." And do not let the eunuch say, "Look! I am a dry tree!" 4 For thus says Yahweh, "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, and choose that in which I delight, and who keep hold of my covenant. 5 And I will give them a monument and a name in my house and within my walls, better than sons and daughters; I will give him an everlasting name that shall not be cut off. 6 And the ⌊foreigners⌋* who join themselves to Yahweh to serve him and to love the name of Yahweh, to become his servants, every one who keeps the Sabbath, ⌊so as not to profane⌋* it, and those who keep hold of my covenant, 7 I will bring them to ⌊my holy mountain⌋;* I will make them merry in my house of prayer. their burnt offerings and their sacrifices ⌊will be accepted⌋* on my altar, for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples," 8 ⌊declares⌋* the Lord Yahweh, who gathers* the scattered ones of Israel (still I will gather to* him, to his gathered ones). 9 All wild animals in the field, come, to devour,* all wild animals in the forest! 10 His watchmen are blind, none of them know. They are all dumb dogs; they are unable to bark, panting, lying down, loving to slumber. 11 And the dogs ⌊have a greedy appetite⌋;* they ⌊are never satisfied⌋.* And they are the shepherds! They do not have* understanding. They all turn to their own way, each one for his own gain, ⌊every one of them⌋.* 12 "Come, let me take wine, and let us carouse with intoxicating drink, and tomorrow will be like today, ⌊very great indeed⌋."*
