Book 12 : NEVIIM - ISAIAH - Chapter 056
56:001
Thus saith HaShem: Keep ye justice, and do righteousness;
for My salvation is near to come, and My favour to be revealed
56:002
Happy is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that
holdeth fast by it: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his
hand from doing any evil
56:003
Neither let the alien, that hath joined himself to HaShem,
speak, saying: 'The HaShem will surely separate me from His people'; neither let
the eunuch say: 'Behold, I am a dry tree.
56:004
For thus saith HaShem concerning the eunuchs that keep My
sabbaths, and choose the things that please Me, and hold fast by My covenant
56:005
Even unto them will I give in My house and within My walls
a monument and a memorial better than sons and daughters; I will give them an
everlasting memorial, that shall not be cut off
56:006
Also the aliens, that join themselves to HaShem, to
minister unto Him, and to love the name of HaShem, to be His servants, every one
that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast by My covenant
56:007
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 acceptable upon Mine altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer
for all peoples
56:008
Saith the L-rd GOD who gathereth the dispersed of Israel:
yet I will gather others to him, beside those of him that are gathered
56:009
All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye
beasts in the forest
56:010
His watchmen are all blind, without knowledge; they are
all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; raving, lying down, loving to slumber
56:011
Yea, the dogs are greedy, they know not when they have
enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand; they all turn to their
own way, each one to his gain, one and all
56:012
'Come ye, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves
with strong drink; and to-morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
