OEB ISA Chapter 56

ISA 56 ©

56Thus says the Lord:

‘Keep the law, and do that which is right:

for soon my deliverance cometh,

my justice will soon be revealed.’

2Happy the man who thus does,

the mortal who holds it fast –

he who keeps the Sabbath unsullied,

who keeps his hand from all evil.


3And let not the foreigner say,

who has joined himself unto the Lord,

‘The Lord will separate me

most assuredly form his people.’

And let not the eunuch say,

‘Behold, a dry tree am I.’


4For thus says the Lord:

‘The eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,

make choice of the things I delight in,

and hold my covenant fast –

5in my house and within my walls

I will give them a name and a monument

better than sons and daughter:

I will give them a name everlasting

that never will be cut off.

6And the foreigners joined to the Lord,

who serve him and love his name,

and are pledged to be his servants –

all who keep the Sabbath unsullied

and hold his covenant fast –

7I will bring to my holy mountain;

and fill them with joy in my house of prayer

their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices

will be welcomed upon my altar.

And my house will be known by the name,

’house of prayer for every nation.’’


8Thus says the Lord the Lord,

who gathers the outcasts of Israel:

‘I will yet gather others to him

beside those who already are gathered.’

The demoralization of leaders and people

The sensuous leaders

9All you wild beasts of the field,

all you wild beasts of the forest,

come hither to devour.

10My watchmen are blind, every one,

with no knowledge of how to give heed.

Dumb dogs they are, every one of them,

lacking the power to bark;

but there they lie a-dreaming

in the slumber that they love.


11Yes, greedy dogs are they,

that never can have enough;

but each to his own way turns,

each on his own gain bent:

12‘Come, wine let us fetch’ (they say),

‘let us fill ourselves with drink,

and tomorrow will be as today,

a royal uproarious day.’
