Isaiah 56:5–11

⁵I will give them, in My house and within My walls,

a memorial and a name

better than that of sons and daughters.

I will give them an everlasting name

that will not be cut off.

⁶And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD

to minister to Him,

to love the name of the LORD,

and to be His servants —

all who keep the Sabbath without profaning it

and who hold fast to My covenant—

⁷I will bring them to My holy mountain

and make them joyful in My house of prayer.

Their burnt offerings and sacrifices

will be accepted on My altar,

for My house will be called a house of prayer^a

for all the nations.”

⁸Thus declares the Lord GOD,

who gathers the dispersed of Israel:

“I will gather to them still others

besides those already gathered.”

⁹Come, all you beasts of the field;

eat greedily, all you beasts of the forest.

¹⁰Israel’s watchmen are blind,

they are all oblivious;

they are all mute dogs,

they cannot bark;

they are dreamers lying around,

loving to slumber.

¹¹Like ravenous dogs,

they are never satisfied.

They are shepherds with no discernment;

they all turn to their own way,

each one seeking his own gain:
