And choose what pleases Me,
And hold fast My covenant,

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.

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—
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.”

They are all ignorant;
bThey are all dumb dogs,
They cannot bark;
1Sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.
