foreigners who bind themselves to the LORD to minister to him, to love
the name of the LORD, and to be his servants, all who keep the Sabbath
without desecrating it and who hold fast to my covenant--these I will
bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their
burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my
house will be called a house of prayer for all nations."
