Isaiah 56:3-5

New International Version

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

⁴For this is what the Lord says:

“To the eunuchs^(D) who keep my Sabbaths,
    who choose what pleases me
    and hold fast to my covenant^(E)—
⁵to them I will give within my temple and its walls^(F)
    a memorial^(G) and a name
    better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name^(H)
    that will endure forever.^(I)
