“In that time shall the present be brought unto the Lord of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the Lord of hosts, the mount Zion.”
In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion—the promise that Cush will bring tribute to Jerusalem (Mount Zion) after the judgment. The bringing of the present suggests acknowledgment of God's supremacy and submission. This verse concludes the oracle with the conversion of Cush to acknowledge the LORD.
