“Also the (A)foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,
To attend to His service and to love the name of the Lord,
To be His servants, every one who (B)keeps the Sabbath so as not to profane it,
And holds firmly to My covenant;
Even (C)those I will bring to My (D)holy mountain,
And (E)make them joyful 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.”
The Lord [a]God, who (H)gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares,
“I will yet gather (I)others to [b]them, to those already gathered.”

Who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him,
