Verse
YLT
Young's Literal Translation
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
Thus
said
Jehovah
: `Keep
ye
judgment,
and do righteousness
, For near
`is'
My salvation to
come
, And My righteousness to
be revealed. '
This
is
what
the
LORD
says
: “Maintain
justice
and do what
is
right
, for My salvation is
coming
soon
, and My righteousness will
be revealed.
O
the happiness
of
a
man who doth
this, And of
a
son of man who keepeth
hold
on
it, Keeping
the sabbath from
polluting
it ,
And keeping
his hand from doing any evil.
Blessed
is
the man who does
this, and the
son of man who holds
it fast
, who
keeps
the Sabbath without
profaning
it and keeps
his hand from doing any evil. ”
Nor
speak
let a
son
of
the
stranger,
Who is
joined unto
Jehovah
, saying:
`Jehovah
doth
certainly
separate
me from His people. '
Nor
say
let the eunuch ,
`Lo
, I am a tree dried
up,'
Let no
foreigner
who has
joined himself
to
the
LORD
say
, “The
LORD
will
utterly
exclude
me from His people. ”
And
let the eunuch not
say
, “
I am but
a dry
tree .”
For thus
said
Jehovah
of
the eunuchs ,
Who do
keep My sabbaths, And
have
fixed
on
that
which
I
desired,
And are
keeping
hold on
My covenant :
For this
is
what
the LORD
says:
“To
the
eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, who
choose
what
pleases
Me
and hold fast
to
My covenant —
I have
given
to
them in My house ,
And within My walls a station
and a name ,
Better than sons and than
daughters ,
A
name
age-during
I give to
him
That is
not cut off.
I will
give
them ,
in My house and within My walls ,
a memorial
and a name better than that
of
sons and daughters .
I will
give them
an
everlasting
name
that will
not be
cut off.
And sons
of
the stranger,
who are
joined
to Jehovah,
To serve
Him, and
to love the name of Jehovah
, To be to
Him
for
servants ,
Every
keeper
of
the sabbath from
polluting
it ,
And those
keeping
hold on
My covenant .
And the foreigners
who join
themselves
to the
LORD
to minister
to
Him, to love the name of the
LORD
, and
to be His
servants —
all
who
keep
the Sabbath without
profaning
it and who
hold fast
to
My covenant —
I have
brought
them unto
My holy mountain ,
And caused
them to
rejoice
in My house of prayer ,
Their burnt -
offerings and their
sacrifices `Are'
for
a
pleasing
thing
on Mine
altar, For My house ,
`
A house of prayer ,'
Is
called
for all the peoples
.
I will
bring
them to
My holy mountain and make
them joyful
in My house of prayer .
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will
be
accepted
on My
altar, for My house will
be
called
a house of prayer for all the nations
. ”
An
affirmation
of
the Lord Jehovah
, Who is
gathering
the outcasts
of Israel: `Again
I gather to him
--
to
his
gathered ones
. '
Thus
declares
the Lord GOD
, who gathers
the dispersed
of Israel: “
I will
gather to them
still
others
besides
those
already
gathered. ”
Every
beast
of the field ,
Come
to
devour
, every
beast
in
the forest.
Come,
all
you
beasts
of the field ;
eat
greedily
, all
you
beasts
of
the forest.
Blind
`are'
his
watchmen --
all
of
them
, They have
not
known,
All of
them
`
are '
dumb
dogs, they are
not
able
to
bark ,
Dozing,
lying down
, loving to slumber.
Israel’s
watchmen are
blind
, they are
all oblivious;
they
are all
mute
dogs, they cannot
bark ;
they
are
dreamers
lying around
, loving to slumber.
And
the
dogs `are'
strong
of
desire
, They have
not
known
sufficiency,
And
they `
are '
shepherds !
They have
not
known
understanding,
All of
them
to their own way they
did
turn
, Each to
his dishonest
gain from
his
quarter
:
Like
ravenous
dogs, they are
never
satisfied.
They are shepherds with
no
discernment;
they all turn
to their own way, each one
seeking
his own
gain:
`
Come ye
, I
take
wine, And
we
drink,
quaff
strong drink, And as
this
day
hath
been
to-morrow
, Great
--
exceeding
abundant
! '
“
Come, let
me
get
the
wine, let
us
imbibe
the
strong drink, and tomorrow
will
be
like
today
, only
far
better
! ”
