Romans 15:12
And once more, Isaiah says:
What it says
Paul closes the citation chain with Isaiah’s word that the root of Jesse will rise to rule, and in him the Gentiles will hope.

In context
7Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring glory to God. 8For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the circumcised on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs, 9so that the Gentiles may glorify God for His mercy. As it is written: 10Again, it says: 11And again: 12And once more, Isaiah says: 13Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you believe in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
