But I know their works, and their thoughts: I come that I may gather them together with all nations and tongues: and they shall come and shall see my glory.
Ibn Ezra
ואנכי מעשיהם ומחשבתיהם And I am their works and their thoughts. It has the same meaning as the rulers take counsel together against the Lord, and against His anointed (Ps. 2:2), באה The time hath come. Supply עת time. The meaning of the whole verse is, When they intend to rebel against me, then the time is come to assemble all nations round Jerusalem, etc. And see my glory. I shall punish them till they will declare my glory to all people. This passage refers to the war of Gog and Magog.
