2  Blessed is the man who does this,

and the son of man who holds it fast,

who ^lkeeps the Sabbath, not ^mprofaning it,

and keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

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

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

and to be his servants,

everyone who keeps the Sabbath and does not profane it,

and holds fast my covenant—

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

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 your own pleasure,² or talking idly;³

14  then you shall take delight in the Lord,

and I will ^xmake you ride on the heights of the earth;⁴

I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father,

^yfor the mouth of the Lord has spoken.”
