A house of prayer for all peoples
This is what the LORD says: Keep justice and do what's right, because my salvation is close to coming and my righteousness close to being uncovered. Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it — who keeps the sabbath from polluting it and keeps his hand from doing any evil. And don't let the foreigner who's joined himself to the LORD say, The LORD will surely cut me off from his people. And don't let the eunuch say, Look, I'm a dry tree. Because this is what the LORD says to the eunuchs who keep my sabbaths and choose what I want and hold onto my covenant: I'll give them a place in my house and inside my walls, and a name better than sons and daughters. I'll give them an everlasting name that won't be cut off. And the foreigners who join themselves to the LORD to serve him and love the name of the LORD and be his servants — everyone who keeps the sabbath without treating it as common and holds onto my covenant — I'll bring them to my holy mountain and make them glad in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be accepted on my altar. Because my house will be called a house of prayer for all the peoples. The LORD GOD, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, declares: I'll gather still more to him besides those already gathered.

Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people. The Lord GOD, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

The blind watchmen
All you beasts of the field, come to devour — yes, all you beasts in the forest. His watchmen are blind. All of them know nothing. They're all mute dogs that can't bark, dreaming and lying down and loving a sleep. Yes, they're greedy dogs that can never have enough. They're shepherds who cannot understand. They all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. Come, they say, I'll get some wine and we'll fill ourselves with strong drink. And tomorrow will be like today, and much more abundant.
All you animals of the field, come and eat — all you animals in the scrub. His watchmen are blind. The lot of them know nothing. They're all mute dogs that can't bark, dreaming and lying down and loving a sleep. And they're greedy dogs that never get enough. They're shepherds who can't understand. Every one of them has turned to his own way, each one after his own gain, right through. Come on, they say, I'll get some wine and we'll drink our fill of beer. And tomorrow will be like today, and even bigger.
All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea, all ye beasts in the forest. His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber. Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter. Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day, and much more abundant.
