CHAPTER 56.
THUS saith the Lord : Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation
is near to come, and my justice to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that doth this, and the son of man
that shall lay hold on this: that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, that
keepeth his hands from doing any evil.
3 And let not the son of the stranger, that adhereth to
the Lord, speak, saying: The Lord will divide and separate me from his people.
And let not the eunuch say: Behold I am a dry tree.
4 For thus saith the Lord to the eunuchs, They that
shall keep my sabbaths, and shall choose the things that please me, and shall
hold fast my covenant:
5 I will give to them in my house, and within my walls,
a place, and a name better than sons and daughters: I will give them an
everlasting name which shall never perish.
6 And the children of the stranger that adhere to the
Lord, to worship him, and to love his name, to be his servants: every one that
keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and that holdeth fast my covenant:
7 I will bring them into my holy mount, and will make
them joyful in my house of prayer: their holocausts, and their victims shall
please me upon my altar: for my house shall be called the house of prayer, for
all nations.
8 The Lord God, who gathereth the scattered of Israel,
saith: I will still gather unto him his congregation.
9 All ye beasts of the field come to devour, all ye
beasts of the forest.
10 His watchmen are all blind, they are all ignorant:
dumb dogs not able to bark, seeing vain things, sleeping and loving dreams.
11 And meet impudent dogs, they never had enough: the
shepherds themselves knew no understanding: all have turned aside into their
own way, every one after his own gain, from the first even to the last.
12 Come, let us take wine, and be filled with
drunkenness: and it shall be as to day, so also to morrow, and much more.
