Isaiah 56:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 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,
7 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,”
8 declares[e] the Lord Yahweh, who gathers[f] the scattered ones of Israel (still I will gather to[g] him, to his gathered ones).

6 Also the foreigners that join themselves to Jehovah, to minister unto him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and holdeth fast my covenant; 7 even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for my house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. 8 The Lord Jehovah, who gathereth the outcasts of Israel, saith, Yet will I gather others to him, [a]besides his own that are gathered.
