1 This is what the LORD says: "Maintain justice and do what is right, for my salvation is close at hand and my righteousness will soon be revealed.2 Blessed is the one who does this — the person who holds it fast, who keeps the Sabbath without desecrating it, and keeps their hands from doing any evil."3 Let no foreigner who is bound to the LORD say, "The LORD will surely exclude me from his people." And let no eunuch complain, "I am only a dry tree."4 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 —5 to them I will give within my temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will endure forever.6 And foreigners who bind 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 desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant —7 these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy 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 nations."8 The Sovereign LORD declares — he who gathers the exiles of Israel: "I will gather still others to them besides those already gathered."9 Come, all you beasts of the field, come and devour, all you beasts of the forest!10 Israel's watchmen are blind, they all lack knowledge; they are all mute dogs, they cannot bark; they lie around and dream, they love to sleep.11 They are dogs with mighty appetites; they never have enough. They are shepherds who lack understanding; they all turn to their own way, they seek their own gain.12 "Come," each one cries, "let me get wine! Let us drink our fill of beer! And tomorrow will be like today, or even far better."

1 [Hc dicit Dominus :Custodite judicium, et facite justitiam,quia juxta est salus mea ut veniat,et justitia mea ut reveletur.2 Beatus vir qui facit hoc,et filius hominis qui apprehendet istud,custodiens sabbatum ne polluat illud,custodiens manus suas ne faciat omne malum.3 Et non dicat filius adven qui adhret Domino, dicens :Separatione dividet me Dominus a populo suo ;et non dicat eunuchus :Ecce ego lignum aridum.4 Quia hc dicit Dominus eunuchis :Qui custodierint sabbata mea,et elegerint qu ego volui,et tenuerint fdus meum,5 dabo eis in domo mea et in muris meislocum, et nomenmelius a filiis et filiabus :nomen sempiternum dabo eis,quod non peribit.6 Et filios adven, qui adhrent Domino,ut colant eum, et diligant nomen ejus,ut sint ei in servos ;omnem custodientem sabbatum ne polluat illud,et tenentem fdus meum ;7 adducam eos in montem sanctum meum,et ltificabo eos in domo orationis me ;holocausta eorum et victim eorum placebunt mihi super altari meo,quia domus mea domus orationis vocabiturcunctis populis.8 Ait Dominus Deus,qui congregat dispersos Isral :Adhuc congregabo ad eumcongregatos ejus.]9 [Omnes besti agri,venite ad devorandum,univers besti saltus.10 Speculatores ejus cci omnes ;nescierunt universi :canes muti non valentes latrare,videntes vana, dormientes,et amantes somnia.11 Et canes imprudentissiminescierunt saturitatem ;ipsi pastoresignoraverunt intelligentiam :omnes in viam suam declinaverunt ;unusquisque ad avaritiam suam, a summo usque ad novissimum.12 Venite, sumamus vinum,et impleamur ebrietate ;et erit sicut hodie, sic et cras,et multo amplius.]
