Isaiah 56:1-12

56:1

Thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>_,

Keep
<08104> (8798)

ye judgment
<04941>_,

and do
<06213> (8798)

justice
<06666>_:

for my salvation
<03444>

[is] near
<07138>

to come
<0935> (8800)_,

and my righteousness
<06666>

to be revealed
<01540> (8736)_.

{judgment: or, equity}

56:2

Blessed
<0835>

[is] the man
<0582>

[that] doeth
<06213> (8799)

this, and the son
<01121>

of man
<0120>

[that] layeth hold
<02388> (8686)

on it; that keepeth
<08104> (8802)

the sabbath
<07676>

from polluting
<02490> (8763)

it, and keepeth
<08104> (8802)

his hand
<03027>

from doing
<06213> (8800)

any evil
<07451>_.

56:3

Neither let the son
<01121>

of the stranger
<05236>_,

that hath joined
<03867> (8738)

himself to the LORD
<03068>_,

speak
<0559> (8799)_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The LORD
<03068>

hath utterly
<0914> (8687)

separated
<0914> (8686)

me from his people
<05971>_:

neither let the eunuch
<05631>

say
<0559> (8799)_,

Behold, I [am] a dry
<03002>

tree
<06086>_.

56:4

For thus saith
<0559> (8804)

the LORD
<03068>

unto the eunuchs
<05631>

that keep
<08104> (8799)

my sabbaths
<07676>_,

and choose
<0977> (8804)

[the things] that please
<02654> (8804)

me, and take hold
<02388> (8688)

of my covenant
<01285>_;

56:5

Even unto them will I give
<05414> (8804)

in mine house
<01004>

and within my walls
<02346>

a place
<03027>

and a name
<08034>

better
<02896>

than of sons
<01121>

and of daughters
<01323>_:

I will give
<05414> (8799)

them an everlasting
<05769>

name
<08034>_,

that shall not be cut off
<03772> (8735)_.

56:6

Also the sons
<01121>

of the stranger
<05236>_,

that join
<03867> (8737)

themselves to the LORD
<03068>_,

to serve
<08334> (8763)

him, and to love
<0157> (8800)

the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

to be his servants
<05650>_,

every one that keepeth
<08104> (8802)

the sabbath
<07676>

from polluting
<02490> (8763)

it, and taketh hold
<02388> (8688)

of my covenant
<01285>_;

56:7

Even them will I bring
<0935> (8689)

to my holy
<06944>

mountain
<02022>_,

and make them joyful
<08055> (8765)

in my house
<01004>

of prayer
<08605>_:

their burnt offerings
<05930>

and their sacrifices
<02077>

[shall be] accepted
<07522>

upon mine altar
<04196>_;

for mine house
<01004>

shall be called
<07121> (8735)

an house
<01004>

of prayer
<08605>

for all people
<05971>_.

56:8

The Lord
<0136>

GOD
<03069>

which gathereth
<06908> (8764)

the outcasts
<01760> (8737)

of Israel
<03478>

saith
<05002> (8803)_,

Yet will I gather
<06908> (8762)

[others] to him, beside those that are gathered
<06908> (8737)

unto him. {beside...: Heb. to his gathered}

56:9

All ye beasts
<02416>

of the field
<07704>_,

come
<0857> (8798)

to devour
<0398> (8800)_,

[yea], all ye beasts
<02416>

in the forest
<03293>_.

56:10

His watchmen
<06822> (8802)

[are] blind
<05787>_:

they are all ignorant
<03045> (8804)_,

they [are] all dumb
<0483>

dogs
<03611>_,

they cannot
<03201> (8799)

bark
<05024> (8800)_;

sleeping
<01957> (8802)_,

lying down
<07901> (8802)_,

loving
<0157> (8802)

to slumber
<05123> (8800)_.

{sleeping: or, dreaming, or, talking in their sleep}

56:11

Yea, [they are] greedy
<05794> <05315>

dogs
<03611>

[which] can
<03045> (8804)

never have
<03045> (8804)

enough
<07654>_,

and they [are] shepherds
<07462> (8802)

[that] cannot understand
<0995> (8687)_:

they all look
<06437> (8804)

to their own way
<01870>_,

every one
<0376>

for his gain
<01215>_,

from his quarter
<07097>_.

{greedy: Heb. strong of appetite} {can...: Heb. know not to be satisfied}

56:12

Come
<0857> (8798)

ye, [say they], I will fetch
<03947> (8799)

wine
<03196>_,

and we will fill
<05433> (8799)

ourselves with strong drink
<07941>_;

and to morrow
<04279>

shall be as this day
<03117>_,

[and] much
<03966>

more
<03499>

abundant
<01419>_.
