, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to
come, and my righteousness to be revealed.Isaiah 56
56:1 Thus saith , Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to
come, and my righteousness to be revealed.
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.
56:3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to , speak,
saying, hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say,
Behold, I am a dry tree.
56:4 For thus saith unto the eunuchs that keep my Sabbaths, and choose the
things that please me, and take hold of my covenant;
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.
56:6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to , to serve him, and
to love the name of , to be his servants, every one that keepeth the Sabbath from
polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
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.
56:8 The Master which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather
others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.
56:9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest.
56:10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
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.
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.
