Yesaya 56:3
Konteks56:3 No foreigner who becomes a follower of 1 the Lord should say,
‘The Lord will certainly 2 exclude me from his people.’
The eunuch should not say,
‘Look, I am like a dried-up tree.’”
Yesaya 56:6-7
Konteks56:6 As for foreigners who become followers of 3 the Lord and serve him,
who love the name of the Lord and want to be his servants –
all who observe the Sabbath and do not defile it,
and who are faithful to 4 my covenant –
56:7 I will bring them to my holy mountain;
I will make them happy in the temple where people pray to me. 5
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar,
for my temple will be known as a temple where all nations may pray.” 6
