1. This is what the Lord says:Preserve justice, and do what is right.My salvation is about to come.My righteousness is about to be revealed.
2. Blessed is the one who does these thingsand the person who holds on to them.Blessed is the one who keeps the day of worship from becoming unholyand his hands from doing anything wrong.
3. Foreigners who have joined the Lord should not say, “The Lord will separate us from his people.” Castrated men should not say, “We’re only dead trees!”
