Isaiah 56:6-8
Christian Standard Bible
6 As for the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord
to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,
and to become his servants—
all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it
and who hold firmly to my covenant—
7 I will bring them to my holy mountain(A)
and let them rejoice in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices
will be acceptable on my altar,(B)
for my house will be called a house of prayer
for all nations.”(C)
8 This is the declaration of the Lord God,
who gathers the dispersed of Israel:
“I will gather to them still others
besides those already gathered.”(D)
Isaiah 56:6-8
International Standard Version
6 “Also, the foreigners who join themselves to[a] the Lord,
to minister to him,
to love the name of the Lord,[b]
to be his servants,
and to bless the Lord’s name,
observing[c] the Sabbath without profaning it,
and who hold fast my covenant—
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain,
and make them joyful in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
will rise up to be accepted[d] on my altar;
for my house will be called a house of prayer
for everyone.”[e]
A Rebuke to Israel’s Guardians
8 This is what the Lord God says,
the one who gathers the outcasts of Israel:
“I’ll gather still others to them
besides those already gathered.[f]
