The LORD will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.

EXPLANATION

Verse 11. Own place. The Jewish religion could be practised only at Jerusalem, so that this is one of the most striking predictions of the conversion of the world. The Jews in vain attempt to restrain it to the captives returning. See Saint Jerome Calmet.—They shall inform many of the truth, and be the means of their conversion. Bible.—But God shall be adored in every place. Menochius.
