The LORD says: Psa 85:9Rom 13:11-14Isa 1:16-19Mat 3:2Rom 1:17Psa 24:4-6Rom 10:6-10Isa 55:7
“Maintain justice
and do what is right,
for my salvation is near
and my righteousness will soon be revealed.
Blessed is the man who does this, Exo 31:13-16Isa 58:13Ezk 20:12Psa 112:1Exo 20:10Ezk 20:20Jer 17:21-22Luk 11:28
and the son of man who holds it fast;
who keeps the Sabbath without profaning it
and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
Let no foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD speak, saying, 1Co 6:17Act 10:34Mat 19:12-30Act 10:1-2Act 17:4Dan 1:3-21Eph 2:22Isa 14:1
“The LORD will surely separate me from his people.”
Do not let the eunuch say, “Behold, I am a dry tree.”
For the LORD says, “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, Isa 27:5Jos 24:15Luk 10:42Psa 119:1112Sa 23:5Isa 56:6Heb 6:17Isa 55:3
choose the things that please me,
and hold fast to my covenant,
I will give them in my house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters. Rev 3:12Rev 3:51Jn 3:11Ti 3:15Isa 55:13Jhn 1:12Isa 26:1Isa 48:19
I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.
Also the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD Jer 50:5Isa 56:2-4Isa 58:13Gal 5:6Isa 44:5Jas 2:5Act 2:41Mrk 12:30-34
to serve him,
and to love the LORD’s name,
to be his servants,
everyone who keeps the Sabbath from profaning it,
and holds fast my covenant,
I will bring these to my holy mountain, Mrk 11:17Isa 2:2-3Mal 1:11Luk 19:46Mat 21:13Mic 4:1-2Rom 12:1Eph 2:11-13
and make them joyful in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar;
for my house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples.”
The Lord GOD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, Jhn 10:16Isa 54:7Isa 60:3-11Eph 1:10Eph 2:14-16Gen 49:10Isa 66:18-21Jer 30:17
“I will yet gather others to him,
in addition to his own who are gathered.”
All you animals of the field, Jer 12:9Deu 28:26Ezk 29:5Ezk 39:17Isa 18:6Rev 19:17-18
come to devour,
all you animals in the forest.
His watchmen are blind. Ezk 33:6Isa 29:10Isa 58:1Mat 15:14Php 3:2Hos 9:7-8Mrk 13:34-37Nam 3:18
They are all without knowledge.
They are all mute dogs.
They can’t bark—
dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.
Yes, the dogs are greedy. Ezk 34:2-3Ezk 13:19Jhn 8:43Mic 3:11Isa 1:3Isa 57:17Mic 3:5-6Rev 22:15
They can never have enough.
They are shepherds who can’t understand.
They have all turned to their own way,
each one to his gain, from every quarter.
“Come,” they say, “I will get wine, Psa 10:6Luk 12:19-20Pro 27:1Isa 5:221Co 15:32Hos 4:11Luk 12:45-46Pro 23:35
and we will fill ourselves with strong drink;
and tomorrow will be as today,
great beyond measure.”
