Thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, " aPreserveh8104 justiceh4941 and doh6213a righteousnessh6666, For My  bsalvationh3444 is abouth7138 to comeh935 And My righteousnessh6666 to be revealedh1540.

2

"How  ablessedh835 is the manh582 who doesh6213a thish384, And the sonh1121 of manh120 who  btakesh2388 holdh2388 of it; Who  ckeepsh8104 from profaningh2490c the sabbathh7676, And keepsh8104 his handh3027 from doingh6213a anyh3605 evilh7451a."

3

Let not the  aforeignerh1121h5236 who has joinedh3867a himself to the LORDh3068 sayh559, "The LORDh3068 will surelyh914 separateh914 me from His peopleh5971a." Norh408 let the  beunuchh5631 sayh559, "Beholdh2005, I am a dryh3002 treeh6086."

4

For thush3541 saysh559 the LORDh3068, "To the eunuchsh5631 whoh834  akeeph8104 My sabbathsh7676, And chooseh977 whath834 pleasesh2654a Me, And  bholdh2388 fasth2388 My covenanth1285,

5

To them I will giveh5414 in My  ahouseh1004 and within My  bwallsh2346 a memorialh3027, And a nameh8034 betterh2896a thanh4480 that of sonsh1121 and daughtersh1323; I will giveh5414  1them an everlastingh5769  cnameh8034 whichh834  dwill not be cuth3772 offh3772.

6

"Also the  aforeignersh1121h5236 who joinh3867a themselves to the LORDh3068, To ministerh8334 to Him, and to loveh157 the nameh8034 of the LORDh3068, To be His servantsh5650, everyh3605 oneh3605 who  bkeepsh8104 from profaningh2490c the sabbathh7676 And holdsh2388 fasth2388 My covenanth1285;

7

Even  athose I will bringh935 to My  bholyh6944 mountainh2022 And  cmakeh8055 them joyfulh8055 in My househ1004 of prayerh8605. Their burnth5930a offeringsh5930a and their sacrificesh2077 will be acceptableh7522 on  dMy altarh4196; For  eMy househ1004 will be calledh7121 a househ1004 of prayerh8605 for allh3605 the peoplesh5971a."

8

The Lordh136  1GODh3068, who  agathersh6908 the dispersedh5080 of Israelh3478, declaresh5002, "Yeth5750  bothers I will gatherh6908 to  2them, to those already gatheredh6908."

9

Allh3605 you  abeastsh2421b of the fieldh7706a, Allh3605 you beastsh2421b in the foresth3293a, Comeh857 to eath398.

10

His  awatchmenh6822 are  bblindh5787, Allh3605 of them knowh3045 nothingh3808. Allh3605 of them are muteh483 dogsh3611 unableh3808h3201 to barkh5024,  1Dreamersh1957 lyingh7901 downh7901, who loveh157 to slumberh5123;

11

And the dogsh3611 are  1 agreedyh5315h5794, they  2are not satisfiedh3045h7654. And they are shepherdsh7462a who haveh3045  bnoh3808 understandingh995; They have allh3605  cturnedh6437 to their own wayh1870, Eachh376 oneh376 to his unjusth1215 gainh1215, to the lasth7097a oneh7097a.

12

"Comeh857," they say, "let  1us geth3947  awineh3196, and let us drinkh7941 heavilyh5433a of strongh7941 drinkh5433a; And  btomorrowh4279 will be like todayh2088h3117, only moreh1419h3499ah3966 so."
