56GOD's Message: "Guard my common good: Do what's right and do it in the right way, For salvation is just around the corner, my setting-things-right is about to go into action.H559H3068H8104H4941H6213H6666H3444H7138H935H6666H1540 2How blessed are you who enter into these things, you men and women who embrace them, Who keep Sabbath and don't defile it, who watch your step and don't do anything evil!H835H582H6213H1121H120H2388H8104H7676H2490H8104H3027H6213H7451 3Make sure no outsider who now follows GOD ever has occasion to say, 'GOD put me in second-class. I don't really belong.' And make sure no physically mutilated person is ever made to think, 'I'm damaged goods. I don't really belong.'"H1121H5236H3867H3068H559H559H3068H914H914H5971H5631H559H3002H6086 4For GOD says: "To the mutilated who keep my Sabbaths and choose what delights me and keep a firm grip on my covenant,H559H3068H5631H8104H7676H977H2654H2388H1285 5I'll provide them an honored place in my family and within my city, even more honored than that of sons and daughters. I'll confer permanent honors on them that will never be revoked.H5414H1004H2346H3027H8034H2896H1121H1323H5414H5769H8034H3772 6"And as for the outsiders who now follow me, working for me, loving my name, and wanting to be my servants— All who keep Sabbath and don't defile it, holding fast to my covenant—H1121H5236H3867H3068H8334H157H8034H3068H5650H8104H7676H2490H2388H1285 7I'll bring them to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. They'll be welcome to worship the same as the 'insiders,' to bring burnt offerings and sacrifices to my altar. Oh yes, my house of worship will be known as a house of prayer for all people."H935H6944H2022H8055H1004H8605H5930H2077H7522H4196H1004H7121H1004H8605H5971 8The Decree of the Master, GOD himself, who gathers in the exiles of Israel: "I will gather others also, gather them in with those already gathered."H136H3069H6908H1760H3478H5002H6908H6908 9A call to the savage beasts: Come on the run. Come, devour, beast barbarians!H2416H7704H857H398H2416H3293 10For Israel's watchmen are blind, the whole lot of them. They have no idea what's going on. They're dogs without sense enough to bark, lazy dogs, dreaming in the sun—H6822H5787H3045H483H3611H3201H5024H1957H7901H157H5123 11But hungry dogs, they do know how to eat, voracious dogs, with never enough. And these are Israel's shepherds! They know nothing, understand nothing. They all look after themselves, grabbing whatever's not nailed down.H5794H5315H3611H3045H3045H7654H7462H995H6437H1870H376H1215H7097 12"Come," they say, "let's have a party. Let's go out and get drunk!" And tomorrow, more of the same: "Let's live it up!"H857H3947H3196H5433H7941H4279H3117H3966H3499H1419
