Isaiah 56:7

56:7 I will bring them to my holy mountain;

I will make them happy in the temple where people pray to me. ²

for my temple will be known as a temple where all nations may pray.” ³ 

Isaiah 66:5

66:5 Hear the word of the Lord,

you who respect what he has to say! ⁴ 

Your countrymen, ⁵  who hate you

and exclude you, supposedly for the sake of my name,

say, “May the Lord be glorified,

then we will witness your joy.” ⁶ 

But they will be put to shame.
