Isaiah 56:6-12

New American Standard Bible

⁶ “Also the ^(A)foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
To attend to His service and to love the name of the Lord,
To be His servants, every one who ^(B)keeps the Sabbath so as not to profane it,
And holds firmly to My covenant;
⁷ Even ^(C)those I will bring to My ^(D)holy mountain,
And ^(E)make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on ^(F)My altar;
For ^(G)My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
⁸ The Lord ^[a]God, who ^(H)gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares,
“I will yet gather ^(I)others to ^[b]them, to those already gathered.”

⁹ All you ^[c](J)wild animals,
All you animals in the forest,
Come to eat.
¹⁰ His ^(K)watchmen are ^(L)blind,
All of them know nothing.
All of them are mute dogs unable to bark,
Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber;
¹¹ And the dogs are ^[d](M)greedy, they ^[e]are never satisfied.
And they are shepherds who have ^(N)no understanding;
They have all ^(O)turned to their own way,
Each one to his unjust gain, ^[f]without exception.
¹² “Come,” they say, “^[g]let’s get ^(P)wine, and let’s drink heavily of intoxicating drink;
And ^(Q)tomorrow will be like today, only more so.”
