Isaiah 56:2-6

New International Version

²Blessed^(A) is the one who does this—
the person who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath^(B) without desecrating it,
and keeps their hands from doing any evil.”

³Let no foreigner^(C) who is bound to the Lord say,
“The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.”^(D)
And let no eunuch^(E) complain,
“I am only a dry tree.”

⁴For this is what the Lord says:

“To the eunuchs^(F) who keep my Sabbaths,
    who choose what pleases me
    and hold fast to my covenant^(G)—
⁵to them I will give within my temple and its walls^(H)
    a memorial^(I) and a name
    better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name^(J)
    that will endure forever.^(K)
⁶And foreigners^(L) who bind themselves to the Lord
    to minister^(M) to him,
to love the name^(N) of the Lord,
    and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath^(O) without desecrating it
    and who hold fast to my covenant—
