“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,
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.”
Lord Yahweh, who (H)gathers the banished of Israel, declares,
“Yet (I)others I will gather to [b]them, to those already gathered.”

“I will also bless the foreigners who commit themselves to the Lord,
    who serve him and love his name,
who worship him and do not desecrate the Sabbath day of rest,
    and who hold fast to my covenant.
I will bring them to my holy mountain of Jerusalem
    and will fill them with joy in my house of prayer.
I will accept their burnt offerings and sacrifices,
    because my Temple will be called a house of prayer for all nations.
For the Sovereign Lord,
    who brings back the outcasts of Israel, says:
I will bring others, too,
    besides my people Israel.”
