Isaiah 56:4-6
International Standard Version
4 For this is what the Lord says:
“To the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths,
who choose the things that please me,
and who hold fast my covenant—
5 to them I will give in my house[a] and within my walls
a monument and a name
better than sons and daughters.
I will give them[b] an everlasting name
that will not be cut off.[c]
6 “Also, the foreigners who join themselves to[d] the Lord,
to minister to him,
to love the name of the Lord,[e]
to be his servants,
and to bless the Lord’s name,
observing[f] the Sabbath without profaning it,
and who hold fast my covenant—
