56 This is what Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} says:
“Uphold justice, and do what is righteous,
For my salvation will soon come
And my righteousness will be revealed.
2 Happy is the man who does this
And the son of man who holds fast to it,
Who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it
And who holds his hand back from any kind of evil.
3 The foreigner who joins himself to Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} should not say,
‘Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} will surely separate me from his people.’
And the eunuch should not say, ‘Look! I am a dried-up tree.’”
4 For this is what Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} says to the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths and who choose what I delight in and who hold fast to my covenant:
5 “I will give to them in my house and within my walls a monument and a name,
Something better than sons and daughters.
An everlasting name I will give them,
One that will not perish.
6 As for the foreigners who join themselves to Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah} to minister to him,
To love the name of Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}
And to be his servants,
All those who keep the Sabbath and do not profane it
And who hold fast to my covenant,
7 I will also bring them to my holy mountain
And make them rejoice inside my house of prayer.
Their whole burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar.
For my house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
8 The Master Ahv'ah {Heb. Yahvah}, who is gathering the dispersed ones of Isra'Al, declares:
“I will gather to him others besides those already gathered.”
9 All you wild animals of the field, come to eat,
All you wild animals in the forest.
10 His watchmen are blind, none of them have taken note.
All of them are speechless dogs, unable to bark.
They are panting and lying down; they love to slumber.
11 They are dogs with a voracious appetite;
They are never satisfied.
They are shepherds who have no understanding.
They have all gone their own way;
Every last one of them seeks his own dishonest gain and says:
12 “Come, let me take some wine,
And let us drink our fill of alcohol.
And tomorrow will be like today, only far better!”
