Isaiah 56:4-6
Contemporary English Version
4 (A) To them, I, the Lord, say:
Respect the Sabbath,
obey me completely,
and keep our agreement.
5 Then you will be like monuments
in my temple with your names
written on them.
This will be much better
than having children,
because these monuments
will stand there forever.
6 Foreigners will follow me.
They will love me and worship
in my name;
they will respect the Sabbath
and keep our agreement.
Isaiah 56:4-6
New International Version
4 For this is what the Lord says:
“To the eunuchs(A) who keep my Sabbaths,
who choose what pleases me
and hold fast to my covenant(B)—
5 to them I will give within my temple and its walls(C)
a memorial(D) and a name
better than sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name(E)
that will endure forever.(F)
6 And foreigners(G) who bind themselves to the Lord
to minister(H) to him,
to love the name(I) of the Lord,
and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath(J) without desecrating it
and who hold fast to my covenant—
