9and in order athat the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,

bTherefore I will praise you among the Gentiles,

10And again it is said,

cRejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.”
11And again,

dPraise the Lord, all you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples extol him.”
12And again Isaiah says,

e, f“The root of Jesse will come,
even he who arises to rule the Gentiles;
gin him will the Gentiles hope.”
13May the God of hope fill you with all hjoy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
