Salvation for the Gentiles
“Keep justice, and do righteousness,
aFor My salvation is about to come,
And My righteousness to be revealed.
And the son of man who lays hold on it;
aWho keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
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.”
“To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
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.
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—
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.”
b“Yet I will gather to him
Others besides those who are gathered to him.”
| << Isaiah 56:1 | Isaiah 56:3 >> |
