13:3 Confess to the Lord, O sons of Israel, * and praise him in the sight of the nations.

13:4 For, indeed, he has dispersed you among the Gentiles, who are ignorant of him, * that you may proclaim his wonders,

13:5 and that you may cause them to know * that there is no other almighty God, except him.

13:6 He has chastised us because of our iniquities, * and he will save us because of his mercy.
