“As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me: the strangers shall submit themselves unto me.”
The statement that people the speaker did not know became obedient and eagerness of ear showed submission establishes the speaker's authority over former adversaries. The reference to unknown peoples suggests that even those distant and unfamiliar submit. The eager obedience suggests ready acceptance of the speaker's rule. This verse emphasizes the comprehensiveness of the speaker's exaltation.
