Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

The verse 3 is found in chapter 56 of Isaiah. Justice and covenant faithfulness extend even to foreigners and eunuchs, people who could be excluded from the community. The house of prayer is called a house of prayer for all peoples. The final contrast with selfish shepherds shows that the promised inclusion also requires responsible and faithful leaders.

Que el extranjero que se ha unido a Jehová no diga: «Sin falta Jehová me separará de su pueblo». Ni diga el eunuco: «Mira, soy un árbol seco».
Que l'étranger qui s'attache à l'Eternel ne dise pas: L'Eternel me séparera de son peuple! Et que l'eunuque ne dise pas: Voici, je suis un arbre sec!
E non dica il figliuol del forestiere, che si sarà aggiunto al Signore: Il Signore mi ha del tutto separato dal suo popolo; e non dica l’eunuco: Ecco, io sono un albero secco.
E não fale o filho do estrangeiro, que se houver unido ao SENHOR, dizendo: Certamente o SENHOR me separará do seu povo; nem tampouco diga o eunuco: Eis que sou uma árvore seca.
