¹Thus says Yahweh: Keep justice and do righteousness, for my deliverance is near to come, and my righteousness to be uncovered.

²Blessed is the man who does this, and the child of humankind who takes hold of it, who keeps the sabbath from profaning it, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.

³And let not the foreigner who has joined himself to Yahweh say, Yahweh will surely separate me from his people; and let not the eunuch say, Look, I am a dry tree.

⁴For thus says Yahweh to the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths, and choose what I delight in, and hold fast to my covenant:

⁵And I will give them in my house and within my walls a monument and a name better than sons and than daughters; a name forever I will give him that will not be cut off.

⁶And the foreigners who join themselves to Yahweh, to serve him and to love the name of Yahweh, to become his slaves, everyone who keeps the sabbath from profaning it and holds fast to my covenant,

⁷I will bring them to my holy mountain and make them glad in my house of prayer; their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar, for my house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.

⁸The utterance of the Adonai Yahweh, who gathers the banished ones of Israel: I will gather still more to him, besides his gathered ones.

⁹All you beasts of the field, come to eat, all you beasts in the forest.

¹⁰His watchmen are blind, all of them; they have not known. All of them are mute dogs, unable to bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.

¹¹And the dogs are fierce of being; they do not know satiety. And they are shepherds who do not know how to discern. All of them have turned to their own way, each man to his own unjust gain, from his own end.

¹²Come, let me take wine, and let us drink our fill of strong drink; and tomorrow will be like this day, great, exceedingly in excess.
