Bede, on Acts 11:18

“Having heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying: God then hath also to the Gentiles given repentance unto life.”

“And they glorified God, saying: So then, God has given even the Gentiles repentance unto life. This is what we read in the book of blessed Job: From the north comes gold, and terrifying praise to God (Job 37:22). Because first the splendor of faith arises from the cold heart of the Gentiles, and for this unexpected faith, Judea glorifies God with fearful praise.”
