isaiah 56

1 - The LORD says,"Maintain justice,and do what is right;for my salvation is near,and my righteousness will soon be revealed.
2 - Blessed is the man who does this,and the son of man who holds it fast;who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it,and keeps his hand from doing any evil."
3 - Let no foreigner, who has joined himself to The LORD, speak, saying,"The LORD will surely separate me from his people."Do not let the eunuch say, "Behold, I am a dry tree."
4 - For the LORD says, "To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,and choose the things that please me,and hold fast to my covenant:
5 - I will give them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters.I will give them an everlasting name, that will not be cut off.
6 - Also the foreigners who join themselves to The LORD,to serve him,and to love The LORD's name,to be his servants,everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it,and holds fast my covenant;
7 - I will bring these to my holy mountain,and make them joyful in my house of prayer.Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar;for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples."
8 - The Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says,"I will yet gather others to him,besides his own who are gathered."
9 - All you animals of the field,come to devour,all you animals in the forest.
10 - His watchmen are blind.They are all without knowledge.They are all mute dogs.They can't bark;dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
11 - Yes, the dogs are greedy.They can never have enough.They are shepherds who can't understand.They have all turned to their own way,each one to his gain, from every quarter.
12 - "Come," say they, "I will get wine,and we will fill ourselves with strong drink;and tomorrow will be as today,great beyond measure."
