Isaiah 56:6-8
The Message
Isaiah 56:6-8
The Message
6-8 “And as for the outsiders who now follow me,
working for me, loving my name,
and wanting to be my servants—
All who keep Sabbath and don’t defile it,
holding fast to my covenant—
I’ll bring them to my holy mountain
and give them joy in my house of prayer.
They’ll be welcome to worship the same as the ‘insiders,’
to bring burnt offerings and sacrifices to my altar.
Oh yes, my house of worship
will be known as a house of prayer for all people.”
The Decree of the Master, God himself,
who gathers in the exiles of Israel:
“I will gather others also,
gather them in with those already gathered.”

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.”
