56:6 As for foreigners who become followers of 1 the Lord and serve him,
who love the name of the Lord and want to be his servants –
all who observe the Sabbath and do not defile it,
and who are faithful to 2 my covenant –
56:7 I will bring them to my holy mountain;
I will make them happy in the temple where people pray to me. 3
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar,
for my temple will be known as a temple where all nations may pray.” 4
