Bible. Isaiah
23:056:004 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my
sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold
of my covenant;
23:056:005 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a
place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will
give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
23:056:006 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the
LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be
his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from
polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant;
23:056:007 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them
joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their
sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house
shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
23:056:008 The Lord GOD, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith,
Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are
gathered unto him.
23:056:009 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts
in the forest.
23:056:010 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all
dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to
slumber.
23:056:011 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and
they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to
their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
23:056:012 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill
ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this
day, and much more abundant.
23:057:001 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and
merciful men are taken away, none considering that the
righteous is taken away from the evil to come.
23:057:002 He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each
one walking in his uprightness.
23:057:003 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of
the adulterer and the whore.
23:057:004 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? against whom make ye a
wide mouth, and draw out the tongue? are ye not children of
transgression, a seed of falsehood.
23:057:005 Enflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree,
slaying the children in the valleys under the clifts of the
rocks?
23:057:006 Among the smooth stones of the stream is thy portion; they,
they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured a drink
offering, thou hast offered a meat offering. Should I receive
comfort in these?
23:057:007 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even
thither wentest thou up to offer sacrifice.
