Isaiah 56:4-6
New English Translation

4 For this is what the Lord says:

“For the eunuchs who observe my Sabbaths
and choose what pleases me
and are faithful to[a] my covenant,
5 I will set up within my temple and my walls a monument[b]
that will be better than sons and daughters.
I will set up a permanent monument[c] for them that will remain.
6 As for foreigners who become followers of[d] 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[e] my covenant—
