Book of Isaiah, Chapter 56
Chapter 56 of Isaiah
“Keep justice, and do righteousness,
for soon my salvation will come,
and my deliverance be revealed.
and the son of man who holds it fast,
who keeps the sabbath, not profaning it,
and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
“The LORD will surely separate me from his people”;
and let not the eunuch say,
“Behold, I am a dry tree.”
“To the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me
and hold fast my covenant,
a monument and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
which shall not be cut off.
to minister to him, to love the name of the LORD,
and to be his servants,
every one who keeps the sabbath, and does not profane it,
and holds fast my covenant—
and make them joyful 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.
who gathers the outcasts of Israel,
I will gather yet others to him
besides those already gathered.”[a]
all you beasts in the forest.
they are all without knowledge;
they are all dumb dogs,
they cannot bark;
dreaming, lying down,
loving to slumber.
they never have enough.
The shepherds also have no understanding;
they have all turned to their own way,
each to his own gain, one and all.
let us fill ourselves with strong drink;
and tomorrow will be like this day,
great beyond measure.”FOOTNOTES
