Thus saithH559 JehovahH3068, KeepH8104 ye justiceH4941, and doH6213 righteousnessH6666; for my salvationH3444 is nearH7138 to comeH935, and my righteousnessH6666 to be revealedH1540. BlessedH835 is the manH582 that doethH6213 this, and the sonH1121 of manH120 that holdethH2388 it fast; that keepethH8104 the sabbathH7676 from profaningH2490 it, and keepethH8104 his handH3027 from doingH6213 any evilH7451. Neither let theH1121 foreignerH5236, that hath joinedH3867 himself to JehovahH3068, speakH559, sayingH559, JehovahH3068 will surelyH914 separateH914 me from his peopleH5971; neither let the eunuchH5631 sayH559, Behold, I am a dryH3002 treeH6086. For thus saithH559 JehovahH3068 of the eunuchsH5631 that keepH8104 my sabbathsH7676, and chooseH977 the things that pleaseH2654 me, and holdH2388 fast my covenantH1285: Unto them will I giveH5414 in my houseH1004 and within my wallsH2346 a memorialH3027 and a nameH8034 betterH2896 than of sonsH1121 and of daughtersH1323; I will giveH5414 them an everlastingH5769 nameH8034, that shall not be cut offH3772. Also theH1121 foreignersH5236 that joinH3867 themselves to JehovahH3068, to ministerH8334 unto him, and to loveH157 the nameH8034 of JehovahH3068, to be his servantsH5650, every one that keepethH8104 the sabbathH7676 from profaningH2490 it, and holdethH2388 fast my covenantH1285; even them will I bringH935 to my holyH6944 mountainH2022, and make them joyfulH8055 in my houseH1004 of prayerH8605: their burnt-offeringsH5930 and their sacrificesH2077 shall be acceptedH7522 upon mine altarH4196; for my houseH1004 shall be calledH7121 a houseH1004 of prayerH8605 for all peoplesH5971. The LordH136 JehovahH136, who gatherethH6908 the outcastsH1760 of IsraelH3478, saithH5002, Yet will I gatherH6908 others to him, besides his own that are gatheredH6908. All ye beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704, comeH857 to devourH398, yea, all ye beastsH2416 in the forestH3293. His watchmenH6822 are blindH5787, they are all without knowledgeH3045; they are all dumbH483 dogsH3611, they cannotH3201 barkH5024; dreamingH1957, lying downH7901, lovingH157 to slumberH5123. Yea, the dogsH3611 are greedyH5794, they canH3045 never haveH3045 enoughH7654; and these are shepherdsH7462 that cannot understandH995: they have all turnedH6437 to their own wayH1870, each oneH376 to his gainH1215, from every quarterH7097. ComeH857 ye, say they, I will fetchH3947 wineH3196, and we will fillH5433 ourselves with strong drinkH7941; and to-morrowH4279 shall be as this dayH4279, a day greatH3966 beyondH3499 measureH1419.
