3 The foreigner joined to the Lord should not say,“The Lord will surely exclude me from his people”;Nor should the eunuch say,“See, I am a dry tree.”
4 For thus says the Lord:To the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths,who choose what pleases me,and who hold fast to my covenant,
5 I will give them, in my houseand within my walls, a monument and a nameBetter than sons and daughters;an eternal name, which shall not be cut off, will I give them.
6 And foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,to minister to him,To love the name of the Lord,to become his servants—All who keep the sabbath without profaning itand hold fast to my covenant,
7 Them I will bring to my holy mountainand make them joyful in my house of prayer;Their burnt offerings and their sacrificeswill be acceptable on my altar,For my house shall be calleda house of prayer for all peoples.
8 Oracle of the Lord God,who gathers the dispersed of Israel—Others will I gather to thembesides those already gathered.
9 All you beasts of the field,come to devour,all you beasts in the forest!
