A Faithful Remnant

8 “Therefore await for Me,” says the Lord,
“Until the day I rise up1 for plunder;
My determination is to bgather the nations
To My assembly of kingdoms,
To pour on them My indignation,
All My fierce anger;
All the earth cshall be devoured
With the fire of My jealousy. 
9 “For then I will restore to the peoples aa pure language,
That they all may call on the name of the Lord,
To serve Him with one accord. 
10 aFrom beyond the rivers of Ethiopia
My worshipers,
The daughter of My dispersed ones,
Shall bring My offering. 
11 In that day you shall not be shamed for any of your deeds
In which you transgress against Me;
For then I will take away from your midst
Those who arejoice in your pride,
And you shall no longer be haughty
In My holy mountain. 
12 I will leave in your midst
aA meek and humble people,
And they shall trust in the name of the Lord. 
13 aThe remnant of Israel bshall do no unrighteousness
cAnd speak no lies,
Nor shall a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth;
For dthey shall feed their flocks and lie down,
And no one shall make them afraid.”

Zephaniah 3:10

From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia - This may denote both Africa and the southern Arabia. Bochart thinks that Arabia Chusaer is meant; and that the rivers are Besor, which flows into the Mediterranean; Rhinocorura, which flows into the Lake Sirbonis; Trajanus Amnis, which flows into the Red Sea; and the river Corys. Calmet thinks that these rivers mean the Nile, which by seven mouths falls into the Mediterranean. The Nile comes from Ethiopia, properly so called; and runs through all Egypt, and falls into the sea at that part of Arabia which the Scripture calls Cush or Ethiopia.

My dispersed - The Jews, scattered through different parts of the world. Shall bring mine offering. Shall acknowledge my mercy in sending them the Messiah to bless them, by turning every one of them away from their iniquities.
