Isaias (Isaiah) 56
56
1THUS saith the Lord: Keep ye judgment and do justice, for my salvation is near to come and my justice to be revealed.
2Blessed is the man that doth this, and the son of man that shall lay hold on this: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, that keepeth his hands from doing any evil.
3And let not the son of the stranger, that adhereth to the Lord, speak, saying: The Lord will divide and separate me from his people. And let not the eunuch say: Behold, I am a dry tree.
4For thus saith the Lord to the eunuchs: They that shall keep my sabbaths and shall choose the things that please me and shall hold fast my covenant,
5I will give to them, in my house and within my walls, a place and a name better than sons and daughters. I will give them an everlasting name which shall never perish.
6And the children of the stranger that adhere to the Lord, to worship him and to love his name, to be his servants; every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it and that holdeth fast my covenant:
7I will bring them into my holy mount and will make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their holocausts and their victims shall please me upon my altar: for my house shall be called the house of prayer, for all nations.
8The Lord God, who gathereth the scattered of Israel, saith: I will still gather unto him his congregation.
9All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, all ye beasts of the forest.
10His watchmen are all blind. They are all ignorant: dumb dogs not able to bark, seeing vain things, sleeping, and loving dreams.
11And meet impudent dogs, they never had enough: the shepherds themselves knew no understanding. All have turned aside into their own way, every one after his own gain, from the first even to the last.
12Come, let us take wine, and be filled with drunkenness: and it shall be as to-day, so also to-morrow, and much more.

Yeshayah (Isaiah) 56
56
1Thus said יהוה, “Guard right-ruling, and do righteousness, for near is My deliverance to come, and My righteousness to be revealed.
2“Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who becomes strong in it, guarding the Sabbath lest he profane it, and guarding his hand from doing any evil.
3“And let not the son of the foreigner who has joined himself to יהוה speak, saying, ‘יהוה has certainly separated me from His people,’ nor let the eunuch say, ‘Look I am a dry tree.’ ”
4For thus said יהוה, “To the eunuchs who guard My Sabbaths, and have chosen what pleases Me, and are holding onto My covenant:
5to them I shall give in My house and within My walls a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters – I give them an everlasting name that is not cut off.
6“Also the sons of the foreigner who join themselves to יהוה, to serve Him, and to love the Name of יהוה, to be His servants, all who guard the Sabbath, and not profane it, and are holding onto My covenant –
7them I shall bring to My set-apart mountain, and let them rejoice in My house of prayer. Their ascending offerings and their slaughterings are accepted on My slaughter-place, for My house is called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
8The Master יהוה, who gathers the outcasts of Yisra’ĕl, declares, “I gather still others to him besides those who are gathered to him.”
9All you beasts of the field, come to devour, all you beasts in the forest.
10His watchmen are blind, all of them, they have not known. All of them are dumb dogs, unable to bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
11And the dogs have a strong appetite, they never have enough. And they are shepherds! They have not known understanding. All of them look to their own way, every one for his own gain, from his own end, saying,
12“Come, let me bring wine and fill ourselves with strong drink. And tomorrow shall be as today, even much greater.”
