 The Book of the Prophet Isaiah 56

Promises to those who keep the Sabbath

1 Thus says the Lord: Maintain justice, and do righteousness, for my salvation is about to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold of it, who keeps from profaning the Sabbath, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.

3 And let not the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord speak, saying, “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 concerning the eunuchs, who keep my Sabbaths, and choose what pleases me, and hold fast my covenant.

5 I will give them a place and a name within my house and its walls that is better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.

6 And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants, all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it and who hold fast my covenant—

7 They I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.
