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,
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,”

declares[e] the Lord Yahweh, who gathers[f] the scattered ones of Israel (still I will gather to[g] him, to his gathered ones).
