Isaiah 56:2-6

2 Blessed is the man who does this,
and the son of man who holds it fast,
^awho keeps the Sabbath, not profaning it,
and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 Let not ^bthe 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 ^ca dry tree.”
4 For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs ^dwho keep my Sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me
and hold fast my covenant,
5 ^eI will give in my house and within my walls
a ^fmonument and a name
better than sons and daughters;
^gI will give them an everlasting name
that shall not be cut off.
6 “And ^hthe foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
everyone ⁱwho keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it,
and holds fast my covenant—
