Isaiah 56:6-8
New International Version
6 And foreigners(A) who bind themselves to the Lord
to minister(B) to him,
to love the name(C) of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath(D) without desecrating it
and who hold fast to my covenant—
7 these I will bring to my holy mountain(E)
and give them joy in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices(F)
will be accepted on my altar;
for my house will be called
a house of prayer for all nations.(G)”(H)
8 The Sovereign Lord declares—
he who gathers the exiles of Israel:
“I will gather(I) still others to them
besides those already gathered.”

6 And the foreigners[a] who join themselves to Yahweh to serve him
and to love the name of Yahweh, to become his servants,
every one who keeps the Sabbath, so as not to profane[b] it,
and those who keep hold of my covenant,
7 I will bring them to my holy mountain;[c]
I will make them merry in my house of prayer.
their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted[d] on my altar,
for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples,”
8 declares[e] the Lord Yahweh, who gathers[f] the scattered ones of Israel (still I will gather to[g] him, to his gathered ones).
