“Maintain justice^(A)
    and do what is right,^(B)
for my salvation^(C) is close at hand
    and my righteousness^(D) will soon be revealed.
² Blessed^(E) is the one who does this—
    the person who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath^(F) without desecrating it,
    and keeps their hands from doing any evil.”

³ Let no foreigner^(G) who is bound to the Lord say,
    “The Lord will surely exclude me from his people.”^(H)
And let no eunuch^(I) complain,
    “I am only a dry tree.”

“To the eunuchs^(J) who keep my Sabbaths,
    who choose what pleases me
    and hold fast to my covenant^(K)—
⁵ to them I will give within my temple and its walls^(L)
    a memorial^(M) and a name
    better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name^(N)
    that will endure forever.^(O)
6 And foreigners^(P) who bind themselves to the Lord
    to minister^(Q) to him,
to love the name^(R) of the Lord,
    and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath^(S) without desecrating it
    and who hold fast to my covenant—
⁷ these I will bring to my holy mountain^(T)
    and give them joy in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices^(U)
    will be accepted on my altar;
for my house will be called
    a house of prayer for all nations.^(V)”^(W)
8 The Sovereign Lord declares—
    he who gathers the exiles of Israel:
“I will gather^(X) still others to them
    besides those already gathered.”

⁶ I have posted watchmen^(O) on your walls, Jerusalem;
    they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
    give yourselves no rest,^(P)
7 and give him no rest^(Q) till he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes her the praise^(R) of the earth.

⁸ The Lord has sworn^(S) by his right hand
    and by his mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain^(T)
    as food for your enemies,
and never again will foreigners drink the new wine
    for which you have toiled;
⁹ but those who harvest it will eat^(U) it
    and praise the Lord,^(V)
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
    in the courts of my sanctuary.”^(W)

¹⁰ Pass through, pass through the gates!^(X)
    Prepare the way for the people.
Build up, build up the highway!^(Y)
    Remove the stones.
Raise a banner^(Z) for the nations.

¹¹ The Lord has made proclamation
    to the ends of the earth:^(AA)
“Say to Daughter Zion,^(AB)
    ‘See, your Savior comes!^(AC)
See, his reward is with him,
    and his recompense accompanies him.’”^(AD)
12 They will be called^(AE) the Holy People,^(AF)
    the Redeemed^(AG) of the Lord;
and you will be called Sought After,
    the City No Longer Deserted.^(AH)

64 ^[a]Oh, that you would rend the heavens^(A) and come down,^(B)
    that the mountains^(C) would tremble before you!
² As when fire sets twigs ablaze
    and causes water to boil,
come down to make your name^(D) known to your enemies
    and cause the nations to quake^(E) before you!
³ For when you did awesome^(F) things that we did not expect,
    you came down, and the mountains trembled^(G) before you.
⁴ Since ancient times no one has heard,
    no ear has perceived,
no eye has seen any God besides you,^(H)
    who acts on behalf of those who wait for him.^(I)
5 You come to the help of those who gladly do right,^(J)
    who remember your ways.
But when we continued to sin against them,
    you were angry.^(K)
    How then can we be saved?
⁶ All of us have become like one who is unclean,^(L)
    and all our righteous^(M) acts are like filthy rags;
we all shrivel up like a leaf,^(N)
    and like the wind our sins sweep us away.^(O)
7 No one^(P) calls on your name^(Q)
    or strives to lay hold of you;
for you have hidden^(R) your face from us
    and have given us over^(S) to^[b] our sins.

⁸ Yet you, Lord, are our Father.^(T)
    We are the clay, you are the potter;^(U)
    we are all the work of your hand.^(V)
9 Do not be angry^(W) beyond measure, Lord;
    do not remember our sins^(X) forever.
Oh, look on us, we pray,
    for we are all your people.^(Y)
10 Your sacred cities^(Z) have become a wasteland;
    even Zion is a wasteland, Jerusalem a desolation.^(AA)
11 Our holy and glorious temple,^(AB) where our ancestors praised you,
    has been burned with fire,
    and all that we treasured^(AC) lies in ruins.
¹² After all this, Lord, will you hold yourself back?^(AD)
    Will you keep silent^(AE) and punish us beyond measure?
