The declaration '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' integrates judgment and mission — the destruction of the nations' gods opens space for universal Yahweh-worship. The phrase 'famish all the gods' (rāzôn — make thin, enfeeble) applies alimentary metaphor to the defeat of divine pretenders: the gods will be starved of the worship-food they require as the nations turn to Yahweh. The universal scope ('every one from his place, all the isles of the heathen') anticipates Malachi 1:11 ('in every place incense shall be offered unto my name') and John 4:21-23 (worship neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem, but in Spirit and truth). The verse belongs to the gathering 'universal worship' tradition that the New Testament interprets as fulfilled in the mission to the Gentiles.
