Isaiah 56:6-8
Legacy Standard Bible
6 “Also the (A)foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh,
To minister to Him, and to love the name of Yahweh,
To be His [a]slaves, every one who (B)keeps from profaning the sabbath
And takes hold of My covenant,
7 Even (C)those I will bring to My (D)holy mountain
And (E)make them glad in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on (F)My altar;
For (G)My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
8 Lord Yahweh, who (H)gathers the banished of Israel, declares,
“Yet (I)others I will gather to [b]them, to those already gathered.”

Isaiah 56:6-8
Common English Bible
6 The immigrants who have joined me,[a]
serving me and loving my name,[b] becoming my servants,[c]
everyone who keeps the Sabbath without making it impure,
and those who hold fast to my covenant:
7 I will bring them to my holy mountain,
and bring them joy in my house of prayer.
I will accept their entirely burned offerings and sacrifices on my altar.
My house will be known as a house of prayer for all peoples,
8 says the Lord God,
who gathers Israel’s outcasts.
I will gather still others to those I have already gathered.
