Isaiah 56:5-6 (Listen)

5 aI will give in my house and within my walls

a bmonument and a name

better than sons and daughters;

cI will give them an everlasting name

that shall not be cut off.

6 “And ythe foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,

to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,

and to be his servants,

everyone xwho keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it,

and holds fast my covenant—

13 w“If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath,

from doing your pleasure1 on my holy day,

and call the Sabbath a delight

and the holy day of the Lord honorable;

if you honor it, not going your own ways,

or seeking xyour own pleasure,2 or talking idly;3

14 then you shall take delight in the Lord,

yand I will make you ride on the heights of the earth;4

zI will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,

afor the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
