Thus saith the LORD
, Keep
ye judgment
, and do
justice
: for my salvation
is near
to come
, and my righteousness
to be revealed
.
Blessed is the man
that doeth
this, and the son
of man
that layeth hold
on it; that keepeth
the sabbath
from polluting
it, and keepeth
his hand
from doing
any evil
.
Neither let the son of the stranger
, that hath joined
himself to the LORD
, speak
, saying
, The LORD
hath utterly
separated
me from his people
: neither let the eunuch
say
, Behold, I am a dry
tree
.
For thus saith the LORD
unto the eunuchs
that keep
my sabbaths
, and choose
the things that please
me, and take hold
of my covenant
;
Even unto them will I give in mine house
and within my walls
a place
and a name
better
than of sons
and of daughters
: I will give
them an everlasting
name
, that shall not be cut off
.
Also the sons of the stranger
, that join
themselves to the LORD
, to serve
him, and to love
the name
of the LORD
, to be his servants
, every one that keepeth
the sabbath
from polluting
it, and taketh hold
of my covenant
;
Even them will I bring to my holy
mountain
, and make them joyful
in my house
of prayer
: their burnt offerings
and their sacrifices
shall be accepted
upon mine altar
; for mine house
shall be called
an house
of prayer
for all people
.
The Lord GOD
which gathereth
the outcasts
of Israel
saith
, Yet will I gather
others to him, beside those that are gathered
unto him.
All ye beasts of the field
, come
to devour
, yea , all ye beasts
in the forest
.
His watchmen are blind
: they are all ignorant
, they are all dumb
dogs
, they cannot
bark
; sleeping
, lying down
, loving
to slumber
.
Yea, they are greedy dogs
which can
never have
enough
, and they are shepherds
that cannot understand
: they all look
to their own way
, every one
for his gain
, from his quarter
.
Come ye, say they , I will fetch
wine
, and we will fill
ourselves with strong drink
; and to morrow
shall be as this day
, and much
more
abundant
.
