Isaiah

Isaiah 56:5–6

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—
