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).

Holman Christian Standard Bible
6 And the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord
minister to Him, love the name of Yahweh
and become His servants,
all who keep the Sabbath without desecrating it
and who hold firmly to My covenant—
7 I will bring them to My holy mountain(A)
and let them rejoice in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices
will be acceptable on My altar,(B)
for My house will be called a house of prayer
for all nations.”(C)
8 This is the declaration of the Lord God,
who gathers the dispersed of Israel:
“I will gather to them still others
besides those already gathered.”(D)
