And (C)make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be acceptable on (D)My altar;
For (E)My house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples.”
The Lord [a]God, who (F)gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares,
“Yet (G)others I will gather to [b]them, to those already gathered.”

All you (H)beasts of the field,
All you beasts in the forest,
Come to eat.
