\q1
|
|
\v 1 This is what Yahweh says, "Observe what is right, do what is just;
|
|
\q1 for my salvation is near, and my righteousness is about to be revealed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Blessed is the man that does this, and whoever who holds it tightly.
|
|
\q1 He observes the Sabbath, not defiling it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 Let no foreigner who has become a follower of Yahweh say,
|
|
\q1 "Yahweh will certainly exclude me from his people."
|
|
\q1 The eunuch should not say, "See, I am a dry tree."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 For this is what Yahweh says, "To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths
|
|
\q1 and choose what pleases me, and hold fast my covenant,
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 to them I will set up in my house and within my walls a monument that is better than having sons and of daughters.
|
|
\q1 I will give them an everlasting monument that will never be cut off.
|
|
|
|
\s5

\p
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Also foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh—
|
|
\q1 to serve him, and who love the name of Yahweh, to worship him,
|
|
\q1 every one who observes the Sabbath and who keeps from defiling it, and who holds fast my covenant
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 —I will bring to my holy mountain and make them joyful in my house of prayer;
|
|
\q1 their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar.
|
|
\q1 For my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.

\q1
|
|
\v 8 The Lord Yahweh, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares this—
|
|
\q1 "I will gather others in addition to them,
|
|
\q2 besides those already gathered."
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\p
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 All you wild beasts of the field, come and devour,
|
|
\q1 all you beasts in the forest!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 All their watchmen are blind, they do not understand.
|
|
\q1 They are all silent dogs who cannot bark.
|
|
\q1 They dream, and lying down they love to sleep.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 The dogs have big appetites; they can never get enough;
|
|
\q1 they are shepherds without discernment;
|
|
\q1 they have all turned to their own way, each one covetous for unjust gain.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 "Come," they say, "let us drink wine and liquor.
|
|
\q1 Tomorrow will be like today, a day great beyond measure."
