Salvation for the Gentiles

1 Thus says the Lord:
“Keep justice, and do righteousness,
aFor 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;
aWho keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.” 
3 Do not let athe 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 beunuch 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 give1 in aMy house
And within My walls a place band 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 abring to My holy mountain,
And make them joyful in My bhouse of prayer.
cTheir burnt offerings and their sacrifices
Will be daccepted on My altar;
For eMy house shall be called a house of prayer ffor all nations.” 
8 The Lord God, awho gathers the outcasts of Israel, says,
b“Yet I will gather to him
Others besides those who are gathered to him.” 

Israel’s Irresponsible Leaders

9 aAll you beasts of the field, come to devour,
All you beasts in the forest. 
10 His watchmen are ablind,
They are all ignorant;
bThey are all dumb dogs,
They cannot bark;
1Sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
