Isaiah 56

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>_,
Keep
<08104> (8798)
ye judgment
<04941>_,
and do
<06213> (8798)
justice
<06666>_:
for my salvation
<03444>
[is] near
<07138>
to come
<0935> (8800)_,
and my righteousness
<06666>
to be revealed
<01540> (8736)_.
{judgment: or, equity}
Blessed
<0835>
[is] the man
<0582>
[that] doeth
<06213> (8799)
this, and the son
<01121>
of man
<0120>
[that] layeth hold
<02388> (8686)
on it; that keepeth
<08104> (8802)
the sabbath
<07676>
from polluting
<02490> (8763)
it, and keepeth
<08104> (8802)
his hand
<03027>
from doing
<06213> (8800)
any evil
<07451>_.
Neither let the son
<01121>
of the stranger
<05236>_,
that hath joined
<03867> (8738)
himself to the LORD
<03068>_,
speak
<0559> (8799)_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The LORD
<03068>
hath utterly
<0914> (8687)
separated
<0914> (8686)
me from his people
<05971>_:
neither let the eunuch
<05631>
say
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, I [am] a dry
<03002>
tree
<06086>_.
For thus saith
<0559> (8804)
the LORD
<03068>
unto the eunuchs
<05631>
that keep
<08104> (8799)
my sabbaths
<07676>_,
and choose
<0977> (8804)
[the things] that please
<02654> (8804)
me, and take hold
<02388> (8688)
of my covenant
<01285>_;
Even unto them will I give
<05414> (8804)
in mine house
<01004>
and within my walls
<02346>
a place
<03027>
and a name
<08034>
better
<02896>
than of sons
<01121>
and of daughters
<01323>_:
I will give
<05414> (8799)
them an everlasting
<05769>
name
<08034>_,
that shall not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.
Also the sons
<01121>
of the stranger
<05236>_,
that join
<03867> (8737)
themselves to the LORD
<03068>_,
to serve
<08334> (8763)
him, and to love
<0157> (8800)
the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
to be his servants
<05650>_,
every one that keepeth
<08104> (8802)
the sabbath
<07676>
from polluting
<02490> (8763)
it, and taketh hold
<02388> (8688)
of my covenant
<01285>_;
Even them will I bring
<0935> (8689)
to my holy
<06944>
mountain
<02022>_,
and make them joyful
<08055> (8765)
in my house
<01004>
of prayer
<08605>_:
their burnt offerings
<05930>
and their sacrifices
<02077>
[shall be] accepted
<07522>
upon mine altar
<04196>_;
for mine house
<01004>
shall be called
<07121> (8735)
an house
<01004>
of prayer
<08605>
for all people
<05971>_.
The Lord
<0136>
GOD
<03069>
which gathereth
<06908> (8764)
the outcasts
<01760> (8737)
of Israel
<03478>
saith
<05002> (8803)_,
Yet will I gather
<06908> (8762)
[others] to him, beside those that are gathered
<06908> (8737)
unto him. {beside...: Heb. to his gathered}
All ye beasts
<02416>
of the field
<07704>_,
come
<0857> (8798)
to devour
<0398> (8800)_,
[yea], all ye beasts
<02416>
in the forest
<03293>_.
His watchmen
<06822> (8802)
[are] blind
<05787>_:
they are all ignorant
<03045> (8804)_,
they [are] all dumb
<0483>
dogs
<03611>_,
they cannot
<03201> (8799)
bark
<05024> (8800)_;
sleeping
<01957> (8802)_,
lying down
<07901> (8802)_,
loving
<0157> (8802)
to slumber
<05123> (8800)_.
{sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep}
Yea, [they are] greedy
<05794> <05315>
dogs
<03611>
[which] can
<03045> (8804)
never have
<03045> (8804)
enough
<07654>_,
and they [are] shepherds
<07462> (8802)
[that] cannot understand
<0995> (8687)_:
they all look
<06437> (8804)
to their own way
<01870>_,
every one
<0376>
for his gain
<01215>_,
from his quarter
<07097>_.
{greedy: Heb. strong of appetite} {can...: Heb. know not to be satisfied}
Come
<0857> (8798)
ye, [say they], I will fetch
<03947> (8799)
wine
<03196>_,
and we will fill
<05433> (8799)
ourselves with strong drink
<07941>_;
and to morrow
<04279>
shall be as this day
<03117>_,
[and] much
<03966>
more
<03499>
abundant
<01419>_.
