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—
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)
The Sovereign Lord declares—
    he who gathers the exiles of Israel:
“I will gather(I) still others to them
    besides those already gathered.”

“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.”
