# Isaiah 56 (New King James Version)
|
|
Salvation for the Gentiles
|
|
|
|
##### 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."
|
