9. and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: “For this reason I will acknowledge You among the Gentiles,and I will sing praises to Your name.”
10. He also says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!”
11. And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles;let all the peoples praise Him.”
12. And again Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse;He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles,in Him shall the Gentiles hope.”
