ASVs / Isaiah / Chapter 56
ASVs · chapter 56
1 T hus saithH559 Jehovah,H3068 KeepH8104 ye justice,H4941 and doH6213 righteousness;H6666 for my salvationH3444 is nearH7138 to come,H935 and my righteousnessH6666 to be revealed.H1540
2 BlessedH835 is the manH582 that doethH6213 this, and the sonH1121 of manH120 that holdethH2388 it fast; that keepethH8104 the sabbathH7676 from profaningH2490 it, and keepethH8104 his handH3027 from doingH6213 any evil.H7451
3 Neither let theH1121 foreigner,H5236 that hath joinedH3867 himself to Jehovah,H3068 speak,H559 saying,H559 JehovahH3068 will surelyH914 separateH914 me from his people;H5971 neither let the eunuchH5631 say,H559 Behold, I am a dryH3002 tree.H6086
4 For thus saithH559 JehovahH3068 of the eunuchsH5631 that keepH8104 my sabbaths,H7676 and chooseH977 the things that pleaseH2654 me, and holdH2388 fast my covenant:H1285
5 Unto them will I giveH5414 in my houseH1004 and within my wallsH2346 a memorialH3027 and a nameH8034 betterH2896 than of sonsH1121 and of daughters;H1323 I will giveH5414 them an everlastingH5769 name,H8034 that shall not be cut off.H3772
6 Also theH1121 foreignersH5236 that joinH3867 themselves to Jehovah,H3068 to ministerH8334 unto him, and to loveH157 the nameH8034 of Jehovah,H3068 to be his servants,H5650 every one that keepethH8104 the sabbathH7676 from profaningH2490 it, and holdethH2388 fast my covenant;H1285
7 even them will I bringH935 to my holyH6944 mountain,H2022 and make them joyfulH8055 in my houseH1004 of prayer:H8605 their burnt-offeringsH5930 and their sacrificesH2077 shall be acceptedH7522 upon mine altar;H4196 for my houseH1004 shall be calledH7121 a houseH1004 of prayerH8605 for all peoples.H5971
8 The LordH136 Jehovah,H136 who gatherethH6908 the outcastsH1760 of Israel,H3478 saith,H5002 Yet will I gatherH6908 [others] to him, besides his own that are gathered.H6908
9 All ye beastsH2416 of the field,H7704 comeH857 to devour,H398 [yea], all ye beastsH2416 in the forest.H3293
10 His watchmenH6822 are blind,H5787 they are all without knowledge;H3045 they are all dumbH483 dogs,H3611 they cannotH3201 bark;H5024 dreaming,H1957 lying down,H7901 lovingH157 to slumber.H5123
11 Yea, the dogsH3611 are greedy,H5794 they canH3045 never haveH3045 enough;H7654 and these are shepherdsH7462 that cannot understand:H995 they have all turnedH6437 to their own way,H1870 each oneH376 to his gain,H1215 from every quarter.H7097
12 ComeH857 ye, [say they], I will fetchH3947 wine,H3196 and we will fillH5433 ourselves with strong drink;H7941 and to-morrowH4279 shall be as this day,H4279 [a day] greatH3966 beyondH3499 measure.H1419
