Isaiah 56:3-5
Christian Standard Bible
3 No foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord
should say,
“The Lord will exclude me from his people,”(A)
and the eunuch should not say,
“Look, I am a dried-up tree.”(B)
4 For the Lord says this:
“For the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,
and choose what pleases me,
and hold firmly to my covenant,
5 I will give them, in my house and within my walls,
a memorial and a name
better than sons and daughters.
I will give each of them an everlasting name
that will never be cut off.(C)
Isaiah 56:3-5
New English Translation
3 No foreigner who becomes a follower of[a] the Lord should say,
‘The Lord will certainly[b] exclude me from his people.’
The eunuch should not say,
‘Look, I am like a dried-up tree.’”
4 For this is what the Lord says:
“For the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths
and choose what pleases me
and are faithful to[c] my covenant,
5 I will set up within my temple and my walls a monument[d]
that will be better than sons and daughters.
I will set up a permanent monument[e] for them that will remain.
