Isaiah

Isaiah 56:6–8

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 prayera

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.”
