Blessed(A) is the one who does this—
    the person who holds it fast,
who keeps the Sabbath(B) without desecrating it,
    and keeps their hands from doing any evil.”

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

For this is what the Lord says:

“To the eunuchs(F) who keep my Sabbaths,
    who choose what pleases me
    and hold fast to my covenant(G)
to them I will give within my temple and its walls(H)
    a memorial(I) and a name
    better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name(J)
    that will endure forever.(K)
