“Maintain justice and do righteousness,
for my salvation is soon to come
and my righteousness is soon to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man who does this,
and the son of man who holds it fast:
who keeps the Sabbath, not profaning it,
and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
who has joined himself to Yahweh speak, saying,
“Yahweh will surely separate me from his people,”
4 For this is what Yahweh says,
“To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths
and choose the things that please me
5 to them I will give in my house and inside my walls
better than of sons and of daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
6 Also the foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh,
to minister to him and to love the name of Yahweh,
to be his servants,
everyone who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it
and holds firmly to 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
for my house will be called a house of prayer
who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says,
“I will gather to them still others
besides his own who are gathered.”
9 All you animals of the field,
all you animals in the forest.
they are all without knowledge;
they can never have enough;
and these are shepherds
who cannot 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 beer;
and tomorrow will be as this day,
great beyond measure.”
