Let not (A)the foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
    “The Lord will surely separate me from his people”;
and let not the eunuch say,
    “Behold, I am (B)a dry tree.”
For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs (C)who keep my Sabbaths,
    who choose the things that please me
    and hold fast my covenant,
(D)I will give in my house and within my walls
    a (E)monument and a name
    better than sons and daughters;
(F)I will give them an everlasting name
    that shall not be cut off.

Let not the (A)foreigner who has joined himself to the Lord say,
“The Lord will certainly separate me from His people.”
Nor let the (B)eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
For this is what the Lord says:
“To the eunuchs who (C)keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And (D)hold firmly to My covenant,
To them I will give in My (E)house and within My (F)walls a memorial,
And a name better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give [a]them an everlasting (G)name which (H)will not be eliminated.
