Isaiah 56:1-8

This is what the LORD says: “Give justice to all people, and do what is right, because my salvation will come to you soon. Soon everyone will know that I do what is right. The person who obeys the law about the Sabbath will be blessed, and the person who does no evil will be blessed.” Foreigners who have joined the LORD should not say, “The LORD will not accept me with his people.” The eunuch should not say, “Because I cannot have children, the LORD will not accept me.” This is what the LORD says: “The eunuchs should obey the law about the Sabbath and do what I want and keep my agreement. If they do, I will make their names remembered within my Temple and its walls. It will be better for them than children. I will give them a name that will last forever, that will never be forgotten. Foreigners will join the LORD to worship him and love him, to serve him, to obey the law about the Sabbath, and to keep my agreement. I will bring these people to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. The offerings and sacrifices they place on my altar will please me, because my Temple will be called a house for prayer for people from all nations.” The Lord GOD says— he who gathers the Israelites that were forced to leave their country: “I will bring together other people to join those who are already gathered.”
