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

    and hold fast my covenant—(C)

    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)
