Chapter 56
Isai RLT 56:1  Thus saith Yhwh, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
Isai RLT 56:2  Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
Isai RLT 56:3  Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to Yhwh, speak, saying, Yhwh hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
Isai RLT 56:4  For thus saith Yhwh unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
Isai RLT 56:5  Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
Isai RLT 56:6  Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to Yhwh, to serve him, and to love the name of Yhwh, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
Isai RLT 56:7  Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
Isai RLT 56:8  The Lord Yhwh which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
Isai RLT 56:9  All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
Isai RLT 56:10  His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
Isai RLT 56:11  Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
Isai RLT 56:12  Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
