This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
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 (Psa 96:4; Isa 46:1).
gods of the earth - who have their existence only on earth, not in heaven as the true God.
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 (Psa 68:29, Psa 68:30; Mal 1:11; Joh 4:21; 1Co 1:2; 1Ti 2:8). It does not mean, as in Isa 2:2; Mic 4:1, Mic 4:2; Zec 8:22; Zec 14:16 that they shall come from their several places to Jerusalem to worship [Maurer].
all ... isles of ... heathen - that is, all the maritime regions, especially the west, now being fulfilled in the gathering in of the Gentiles to Messiah.
