To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,

better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
that shall not be cut off.(B)

to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath and do not profane it
and hold fast my covenant—(C)
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain
and make them joyful in my house of prayer;
their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
will be accepted on my altar,
for my house shall be called a house of prayer
for all peoples.(D)
