561 Thus says the Lord , " Preserve justice and do righteousness , For My salvation is about to come And My righteousness to be revealed . 2 "How blessed is the man who does this , And the son of man who takes hold of it; Who keeps from profaning the sabbath , And keeps his hand from doing any evil ."
3 Let not the foreigner e who has joined himself to the Lord say , "The Lord will surely separate me from His people ." Nor let the eunuch say , "Behold , I am a dry tree ." 4 For thus says the Lord , "To the eunuchs who keep My sabbaths , And choose what pleases Me, And hold fast My covenant , 5 To them I will give in My house and within My walls a memorial , And a name better than that of sons and daughters ; I will give them an everlasting name which will not be cut off . 6 "Also the foreigners e who join themselves to the Lord , To minister to Him, and to love the name of the Lord , To be His servants , every one who keeps from profaning the sabbath And holds fast My covenant ; 7 Even those I will bring to My holy mountain And make them joyful in My house of prayer . Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on My altar ; For My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples ." 8 The Lord GOD , who gathers the dispersed of Israel , declares , "Yet others I will gather to them, to those already gathered ."
9 All you beasts of the field , All you beasts in the forest , Come to eat . 10 His watchmen are blind , All of them know nothing . All of them are mute dogs unable e to bark , Dreamers lying down , who love to slumber ; 11 And the dogs are greedy e , they are not satisfied e . And they are shepherds who have no understanding ; They have all turned to their own way , Each one to his unjust gain , to the last one . 12 "Come ," they say, "let us get wine , and let us drink heavily of strong drink ; And tomorrow will be like today e , only more e so."
