| [1]Thus saith the Lord, Keep judgment and do justice: for my salvation is at hand to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. |

| [2]Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son of man which layeth hold on it: he that keepeth the Sabbath and polluteth it not, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil. |

| [3]And let not the son of the stranger, which is joined to the Lord, speak and say, The Lord hath surely separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree. |
[3]Then shall not the straunger whiche cleaueth to the Lorde, say, Alas the Lorde hath shut me cleane out from his people: Neither shall the gelded man say, Lo I am a drye tree |
| [4]For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs, that keep my Sabbaths, and choose the thing that pleaseth me, and take hold of my covenant, |
[4]For thus saith the Lorde vnto the gelded that kepeth my Sabbath, [namelye] that holdeth greatly of the thyng that pleaseth me, and kepeth my couenaunt |
| [5]Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls, a place and a name better than of the sons and of the daughters: I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be put out. |

| [6]Also the strangers that cleave unto the Lord, to serve him, and to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servants: every one that keepeth the Sabbath, and polluteth it not and embraceth my covenant, |
[6]Agayne, the straungers that sticke to the Lorde to serue hym, and to loue his name, and to be his seruauntes, and all they which kepe them selues that they vnhalowe not the Sabbath, namely that they fulfyll my couenaunt |
| [7]Them will I bring also to mine holy mountain, and make them joyful in mine 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. |
[7]Them will I bring to my holy mountayne, & make them ioyfull in my house of prayer: their burnt offerynges and sacrifices shalbe accepted vpon myne aulter: for my house shalbe called an house of prayer for all people |

| [10]Their watchmen are all blind: they have no knowledge: they are all dumb dogs: they cannot bark: they lie and sleep and delight in sleeping. |
[10]For his watchmen are all blynde, they haue altogether no vnderstanding, they are all dumbe dogges not beyng able to barke, they are sleepy, sluggishe are they and lye snortyng |
| [11]And these greedy dogs can never have enough: and these shepherds cannot understand: for they all look to their own way, every one for his advantage, and for his own purpose. |
[11]They are shamelesse dogges that be neuer satisfied: The sheepheardes also in like maner haue no vnderstandyng, but euery man turneth his owne way, euery one after his owne couetousnesse with all his power |
