without being satisfied? hearken diligently vnto thus saith the Lord vnto the Eunuches, that keepe

soule delite in fatnes. 3 Encline your eares, and me, and take holde of my couenant, Euen vnto
come vnto me: heare, and your soule shall liue, them wil I giue in mine House and within my

prince and a master vnto the people. Beholde, the strangers that cleaue vnto the Lord, to serue
5
thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, him, and to loue the Name of the Lord, and to be
and a nation that knew not thee, shall runne his seruants: euery one that keepeth the Sabbath,
vnto thee, because of the Lord thy God, and the and polluteth it not and imbraceth my couenant,
holy one of Israel: for hee hath glorified thee. 7 Them wil I bring also to mine holy mountaine,
6 Seeke ye the Lord while he may be found: call and make them ioyfull in mine House of prayer:
