Isaiah 56:3-5
New American Standard Bible
3 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.”
4 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,
5 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.

American Standard Version
3 Neither let the foreigner, that hath joined himself to Jehovah, speak, saying, Jehovah will surely separate me from his people; neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. 4 For thus saith Jehovah of the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast my covenant: 5 Unto them will I give in my house and within my walls a [a]memorial and a name [b]better than of sons and of daughters; I will give [c]them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
