Isaiah 56:6-8
Contemporary English Version
6 Foreigners will follow me.
They will love me and worship
in my name;
they will respect the Sabbath
and keep our agreement.
7 (A) I will bring them
to my holy mountain,
where they will celebrate
in my house of worship.
Their sacrifices and offerings
will always be welcome
on my altar.
Then my house will be known
as a house of worship
for all nations.
8 I, the Lord, promise
to bring together my people
who were taken away,
and let them join the others.
Isaiah 56:6-8
New International Version
6 And foreigners(A) who bind themselves to the Lord
to minister(B) to him,
to love the name(C) of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath(D) without desecrating it
and who hold fast to my covenant—
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain(E)
and give them joy in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices(F)
will be accepted on my altar;
for my house will be called
a house of prayer for all nations.(G)”(H)
8 The Sovereign Lord declares—
he who gathers the exiles of Israel:
“I will gather(I) still others to them
besides those already gathered.”
