This is what the LORD says:“^aGuard justice and do righteousness,For My ^bsalvation is about to comeAnd My righteousness to be revealed.2 “^aBlessed is a man who does this,And a son of man who ^btakes hold of it;Who ^ckeeps from profaning the Sabbath,And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”3 Let not the ^aforeigner who has joined himself to the LORD say,“The LORD will certainly separate me from His people.”Nor let the ^beunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”4 For this is what the LORD says:“To the eunuchs who ^akeep My Sabbaths,And choose what pleases Me,And ^bhold firmly to My covenant,5 To them I will give in My ^ahouse and within My ^bwalls a memorial,And a name better than that of sons and daughters;I will give ¹them an everlasting ^cname which ^dwill not be eliminated.

6 “Also the ^aforeigners who join themselves to the LORD,To attend to His service and to love the name of the LORD,To be His servants, every one who ^bkeeps the Sabbath so as not to profane it,And holds firmly to My covenant;7 Even ^athose I will bring to My ^bholy mountain,And ^cmake them joyful in My house of prayer.Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on ^dMy altar;For ^eMy house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”8 The Lord ¹GOD, who ^agathers the dispersed of Israel, declares,“I will yet gather ^bothers to ²them, to those already gathered.”

9 All you ¹^awild animals,All you animals in the forest,Come to eat.10 His ^awatchmen are ^bblind,All of them know nothing.All of them are mute dogs unable to bark,Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;11 And the dogs are ¹^agreedy, they ²are never satisfied.And they are shepherds who have ^bno understanding;They have all ^cturned to their own way,Each one to his unjust gain, ³without exception.12 “Come,” they say, “¹let’s get ^awine, and let’s drink heavily of intoxicating drink;And ^btomorrow will be like today, only more so.”
