King James VersionIsaiah56

Isaiah

1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judg­ment, and do jus­tice: for my sal­va­tion is near to come, and my righ­teous­ness to be re­vealed. 2 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. 3 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. 4 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; 5 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. 6 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; 7 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. 8 The Lord GOD which gath­ereth the out­casts of Is­rael saith, Yet will I gath­er others to him, be­side those that are gath­ered unto him. 9 All ye beasts of the field, come to de­vour, yea, all ye beasts in the for­est. 10 His watch­men are blind: they are all ig­no­rant, they are all dumb dogs, they can­not bark; sleep­ing, ly­ing down, lov­ing to slum­ber. 11 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. 12 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.
