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.
6 Foreigners will follow me.They will love me and worshipin my name;they will respect the Sabbathand keep our agreement.
7 I will bring themto my holy mountain,where they will celebratein my house of worship.Their sacrifices and offeringswill always be welcomeon my altar.Then my house will be knownas a house of worshipfor all nations.
8 I, the Lord, promiseto bring together my peoplewho were taken away,and let them join the others.
9 Come from the forest,you wild animals!Attack and gobble upyour victims.
10 You leaders of Israelshould be watchdogs,protecting my people.But you can't see a thing,and you never warn them.Dozing and daydreamingare all you ever do.
11 You stupid leaders are a packof hungry and greedy dogsthat never get enough.You are shepherdswho mistreat your own sheepfor selfish gain.
