56:1 Thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068, Keep 8104 8798 ye judgment 4941, and do 6213 8798 justice 6666: for my salvation 3444 [is] near 7138 to come 935 8800, and my righteousness 6666 to be revealed 1540 8736.(judgment: or, equity)

56:2 Blessed 835 [is] the man 582 [that] doeth 6213 8799 this, and the son 1121 of man 120 [that] layeth hold 2388 8686 on it; that keepeth 8104 8802 the sabbath 7676 from polluting 2490 8763 it, and keepeth 8104 8802 his hand 3027 from doing 6213 8800 any evil 7451.

56:3 Neither let the son 1121 of the stranger 5236, that hath joined 3867 8738 himself to the LORD 3068, speak 559 8799, saying 559 8800, The LORD 3068 hath utterly 914 8687 separated 914 8686 me from his people 5971: neither let the eunuch 5631 say 559 8799, Behold, I [am] a dry 3002 tree 6086.

56:4 For thus saith 559 8804 the LORD 3068 unto the eunuchs 5631 that keep 8104 8799 my sabbaths 7676, and choose 977 8804 [the things] that please 2654 8804 me, and take hold 2388 8688 of my covenant 1285;

56:5 Even unto them will I give 5414 8804 in mine house 1004 and within my walls 2346 a place 3027 and a name 8034 better 2896 than of sons 1121 and of daughters 1323: I will give 5414 8799 them an everlasting 5769 name 8034, that shall not be cut off 3772 8735.

56:6 Also the sons 1121 of the stranger 5236, that join 3867 8737 themselves to the LORD 3068, to serve 8334 8763 him, and to love 157 8800 the name 8034 of the LORD 3068, to be his servants 5650, every one that keepeth 8104 8802 the sabbath 7676 from polluting 2490 8763 it, and taketh hold 2388 8688 of my covenant 1285;

56:7 Even them will I bring 935 8689 to my holy 6944 mountain 2022, and make them joyful 8055 8765 in my house 1004 of prayer 8605: their burnt offerings 5930 and their sacrifices 2077 [shall be] accepted 7522 upon mine altar 4196; for mine house 1004 shall be called 7121 8735 an house 1004 of prayer 8605 for all people 5971.

56:8 The Lord 136 GOD 3069 which gathereth 6908 8764 the outcasts 1760 8737 of Israel 3478 saith 5002 8803, Yet will I gather 6908 8762 [others] to him, beside those that are gathered 6908 8737 unto him.(beside…: Heb. to his gathered)

56:9 All ye beasts 2416 of the field 7704, come 857 8798 to devour 398 8800, [yea], all ye beasts 2416 in the forest 3293.

56:10 His watchmen 6822 8802 [are] blind 5787: they are all ignorant 3045 8804, they [are] all dumb 483 dogs 3611, they cannot 3201 8799 bark 5024 8800; sleeping 1957 8802, lying down 7901 8802, loving 157 8802 to slumber 5123 8800.(sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep)

56:11 Yea, [they are] greedy 5794 5315 dogs 3611 [which] can 3045 8804 never have 3045 8804 enough 7654, and they [are] shepherds 7462 8802 [that] cannot understand 995 8687: they all look 6437 8804 to their own way 1870, every one 376 for his gain 1215, from his quarter 7097.(greedy: Heb. strong of appetite)(can…: Heb. know not to be satisfied)

56:12 Come 857 8798 ye, [say they], I will fetch 3947 8799 wine 3196, and we will fill 5433 8799 ourselves with strong drink 7941; and to morrow 4279 shall be as this day 3117, [and] much 3966 more 3499 abundant 1419.
