9 And it shall also be of aworth unto the Gentiles; and not only unto the Gentiles but bunto all the chouse of Israel, unto the making known of the dcovenants of the Father of heaven unto Abraham, saying: In thy eseed shall all the kindreds of the earth be fblessed."
In these verses, we have Nephi continuing to explain the recent citation from Isaiah about the house of Israel and their future. In previous verses, we have found out that the house of Israel shall be scattered. At some point after, the Lord will proceed to do a "marvelous work [and a wonder]" among all the children of men. Because we now live in the time when this prophesy is being fulfilled, we can see that the Gentiles (at least us in the U.S.) have begun missionary work. We have started to preach the gospel and teach the world about Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost. We are teaching them about the Book of Mormon, modern-day prophets, the fact that the Church of Jesus Christ is restored again, and that there are blessings found therein that, as stated in verse 9, the covenants made to Abraham a long time ago shall be fulfilled.
The verses also say that this work shall be of great worth unto the seed of Lehi from the Book of Mormon and to the Gentiles. We can see that this is true due to the growth of the church in Latin America and the Pacific Islands. Of course, in the U.S. there has been tremendous growth in the church and missionary work performed. I say missionary work done because a lot of missionaries in foreign countries were from the U.S., but that is slowly changing.
We have to make all aware of the good news that Jesus Christ did what He did for all mankind and that He is ready to accept those that repent and follow Him. We end with a section of verses (Doctrine and Covenants 18:11-16):
"10 Remember the aworth of bsouls is great in the sight of God;

"15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one asoul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
