The LORD will be terrible unto them: for he will famish all the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place, even all the isles of the heathen.
He will famish - bring low, by taking from the idols their former fame: as beasts are famished by their food being withheld. Also, by destroying the kingdoms under the tutelage of idols (Psalms 96:4; Isaiah 46:1).
All the gods of the earth - who have their existence only on earth, not in heaven, as the true God.
And men shall worship him, every one from his place - each in his own Gentile home, taught by the Jews in the true religion: not in Jerusalem alone shall men worship God, but everywhere (Psalms 68:29-30; Malachi 1:11; John 4:21; 1 Corinthians 1:2; 1 Timothy 2:8). It does not mean, as the meaning is in Isaiah 2:2; Micah 4:1-2; Zechariah 8:22; Zechariah 14:16, they shall come from their several places to Jerusalem to worship (Maurer).
Even all the isles of the heathen - i:e., all the maritime regions, especially the West, now being fulfilled in the gathering in of the Gentiles to Messiah; about to receive its full and final fulfillment in the conversion of all nations after the second coming of Messiah (Revelation 11:15).
