2  Blessed is the man who does this,

and the son of man who holds it fast,

^xwho keeps the Sabbath, not profaning it,

and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

6  “And ^ythe foreigners who join themselves to the Lord,

to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord,

and to be his servants,

everyone ^xwho keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it,

and holds fast my covenant—

13  ^w“If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath,

from doing your pleasure¹ on my holy day,

and call the Sabbath a delight

and the holy day of the Lord honorable;

if you honor it, not going your own ways,

or seeking ^xyour own pleasure,² or talking idly;³

14  then you shall take delight in the Lord,

^yand I will make you ride on the heights of the earth;⁴

^zI will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,

^afor the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
