# Chapter 56
|
|
1. Thus says the Lord:
|
|
"Keep 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 on it;
|
|
Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
|
|
And keeps his hand from doing any evil."
|
|
|
|
3. Do not let the son of the foreigner
|
|
Who has joined himself to the Lord
|
|
Speak, saying,
|
|
"The Lord has utterly separated me from His people";
|
|
Nor let the eunuch say,
|
|
"Here 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. Even to them I will give in My house
|
|
And within My walls a place and a name
|
|
Better than that of sons and daughters;
|
|
I will give them an everlasting name
|
|
That shall not be cut off.
|
|
|
|
6. "Also the sons of the foreigner
|
|
Who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him,
|
|
And to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants--
|
|
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
|
|
And holds fast My covenant--
|
|
|
|
7. Even them I will bring 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 shall be called a house of prayer for all nations."
|
|
|
|
8. The Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says,
|
|
"Yet I will gather to him
|
|
Others besides those who are gathered to him."Israel's Irresponsible Leaders
|
|
|
|
9. All you beasts of the field, come to devour,
|
|
All you beasts in the forest.
|
|
|
|
10. His watchmen are blind,
|
|
They are all ignorant;
|
|
They are all dumb dogs,
|
|
They cannot bark;
|
|
Sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
|
|
|
|
11. Yes, they are greedy dogs
|
|
Which never have enough.
|
|
And they are shepherds
|
|
Who cannot understand;
|
|
They all look to their own way,
|
|
Every one for his own gain,
|
|
From his own territory.
|
|
|
|
12. "Come," one says, "I will bring wine,
|
|
And we will fill ourselves with intoxicating drink;
|
|
Tomorrow will be as today,
|
|
And much more abundant."
