Isaiah 56:3-5
New King James Version
3 Do not let (A)the son of the foreigner
Who has joined himself to the Lord
Speak, saying,
“The Lord has utterly separated me from His people”;
Nor let the (B)eunuch say,
“Here I am, a dry tree.”
4 For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And hold fast My covenant,
5 Even to them I will give in (C)My house
And within My walls a place (D)and a name
Better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give [a]them an everlasting name
That shall not be cut off.

“Behold, (F)your dwelling shall be of the [c]fatness of the earth,
And of the dew of heaven from above.

And (G)you shall serve your brother;
And (H)it shall come to pass, when you become restless,
That you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
