Isaiah 56

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."*
