Revised Version 1885

Isaiah 56:1-5 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

1. Thus saith the Lord, Keep ye judgment, and do righteousness: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.

2. Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man that holdeth fast by it; that keepeth the sabbath from profaning it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.

3. Neither let the stranger, that hath joined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, The Lord will surely separate me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

4. For thus saith the Lord of the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and hold fast by my covenant:

5. Unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a memorial and a name better than of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
