(A)these I will bring to (B)my holy mountain,
    and make them joyful in my house of prayer;
(C)their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
    will be accepted on my altar;
for (D)my house shall be called a house of prayer
    for all peoples.”
The Lord God,
    (E)who gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares,
(F)“I will gather yet others to him
    besides those already gathered.”
