All Nations Will Be Part of God's People Isaiah 56 The LORD said: Be honest and fair! Soon I will come to save you;
 my saving power will be seen
everywhere on earth.
 2I will bless everyone
who respects the Sabbath
and refuses to do wrong.
3Foreigners who worship me
must not say,
"The LORD won't let us
be part of his people."
Men who are unable
to become fathers
must no longer say,
"We are dried-up trees."
4To them, I, the LORD, say:
Respect the Sabbath,
obey me completely,
and keep our agreement.
5Then I will set up monuments
in my temple
with your names
written on them.
This will be much better
than having children,
because these monuments
will stand there forever.
6Foreigners will follow me.
They will love me
and worship
in my name;
they will respect the Sabbath
and keep our agreement.
7I will bring them
to my holy mountain,
where they will celebrate
in my house of worship.
Their sacrifices and offerings
will always be welcome
on my altar.
Then my house will be known
as a house of worship
for all nations.
8I, the LORD, promise
to bring together my people
who were taken away,
and let them join the others.
