Isaiah 56:3-7

3 Let not ^pthe foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely separate me from his people”;
and let not the eunuch say,
“Behold, I am ^qa dry tree.”
4 For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs ^rwho keep my Sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me
and hold fast my covenant,
5 ^sI will give in my house and within my walls
a ^tmonument and a name
better than sons and daughters;
^uI will give them an everlasting name
that shall not be cut off.
6 “And ^vthe foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
everyone ^wwho keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it,
and holds fast my covenant—
7 ^xthese I will bring to ^ymy holy mountain,
and make them joyful in my house of prayer;
^ztheir burnt offerings and their sacrifices
will be accepted on my altar;
for ^aamy house shall be called a house of prayer
for all peoples.”
