Foreigners will join the Lord
    to worship him and love him,
    to serve him,
to obey the law about the Sabbath,
    and to keep my agreement.
I will bring these people to my holy mountain
    and give them joy in my house of prayer.
The offerings and sacrifices
    they place on my altar will please me,
because my Temple will be called
    a house for prayer for people from all nations.”
The Lord God says—
    he who gathers the Israelites that were forced to leave their country:
“I will bring together other people
    to join those who are already gathered.”

    to minister(B) to him,
to love the name(C) of the Lord,
    and to be his servants,
all who keep the Sabbath(D) without desecrating it
    and who hold fast to my covenant—
these I will bring to my holy mountain(E)
    and give them joy in my house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and sacrifices(F)
    will be accepted on my altar;
for my house will be called
    a house of prayer for all nations.(G)(H)
