_Sabbatical Admonitions, and
Consolations for Proselytes and Eunuchs._
1. Thus saith Jehovah, Keep ye right, and do righteousness; for My
salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to reveal itself.
2. Blessed is the mortal that doeth this, and the son of man that
layeth fast hold thereon; who keepeth the Sabbath, that he doth not
desecrate it, and keepeth his hand from doing any kind of evil.
3. And let not the foreigner, who hath joined himself to Jehovah,
speak thus: Assuredly Jehovah will cut me off from His people; and
let not the eunuch say, I am only a dry tree. 4. For thus saith
Jehovah to the eunuchs, Those who keep My Sabbaths, and decide for
that in which I take pleasure, and take fast hold of My covenant,
5. I give to them in My house and within My walls a memorial[1] and a
name better than sons and daughters; I give such a man an everlasting
name, that shall not be cut off. 6. And the foreigners, who have
joined themselves to Jehovah, to serve Him, and to love the name of
Jehovah, to be His servants, whoever keepeth the Sabbath from
desecrating it, and those who hold fast to My covenant; 7. I bring
them to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer;
their whole-offerings and their slain-offerings are well-pleasing
upon Mine altar; for My house, a house of prayer shall it be called
for all nations. 8. Word of the Lord, Jehovah: gathering the outcasts
of Israel, I will also gather beyond itself to its gathered ones.
