1 The Lord said:Be honest and fair!Soon I will come to save you;my saving power will be seeneverywhere on earth.
2 I will bless everyonewho respects the Sabbathand refuses to do wrong.
3 Foreigners who worship memust not say,“The Lord won't let usbe part of his people.”Men who are unableto become fathersmust no longer say,“We are dried-up trees.”
4 To them, I, the Lord, say:Respect the Sabbath,obey me completely,and keep our agreement.
5 Then you will be like monumentsin my temple with your nameswritten on them.This will be much betterthan having children,because these monumentswill stand there forever.
