Isaiah 56 points to a more inclusive message of salvation which includes foreigners and eunuchs and which encourages one and all keep the sabbath. "These I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer... which will be a house of prayer for all nations". The chapter closes warning against corrupt leaders. These "watchmen" and "shepherds" are condemned for being lazy ("they lie around and dream") and are selfish ("each seeks his own gain").
