AB - Isaiah - 56

56:1  Thus says the Lord: Keep justice, and do righteousness; for My salvation is about to come, and My mercy shall be revealed.

56:2  Blessed is the man that does these things, and the man that holds by them, and keeps the Sabbaths, from profaning them, and keeps his hands from doing unrighteousness.

56:3  Let not the stranger who attaches himself to the Lord, say, Surely the Lord will separate me from His people; and let not the eunuch say, I am a dry tree.

56:4  Thus says the Lord to the eunuchs: as many as shall keep My Sabbaths, and choose the things which I take pleasure in, and take hold of My covenant;

56:5  I will give to them in My house and within My walls an honorable place, better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, and it shall not fail.

56:6  And I will give it to the strangers that attach themselves to the Lord, to serve Him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be to Him servants and handmaids; and as for all that keep My Sabbaths, from profaning them, and that take hold of My covenant,

56:7  I will bring them to My holy mountain, and gladden them in My house of prayer; their whole burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be acceptable upon My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations,

56:8  says the Lord that gathers the dispersed of Israel; for I will gather to him a congregation.

56:9  All you beasts of the field, come, devour, all you beasts of the forest.

56:10  See how they are all blinded; they have not known; they are dumb dogs that will not bark; dreaming of rest, loving to slumber.

56:11  Yea, they are insatiable dogs, that know not what it is to be filled, and they are wicked, having no understanding; all have followed their own ways, each according to his will.
