ゼカリヤ書 7:13-14 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 7:13

As he cried. As the Lord called to them by the prophets. Just retri-button fell upon them ( Proverbs 1:24 , etc.; Isaiah 65:12 , Isaiah 65:13 ; Isaiah 66:4 ). So they cried, and I would not hear; rather, so they shall cry, and I will not hear. God will be deaf to their cry, and will give them up to their own ways ( Jeremiah 2:28 ). In the protasis Jehovah is spoken of in the third person, in the apodosis he speaks in the first. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 7:14

I scattered them; I will scatter them. What had happened in the past is a sign of what shall befall them in the future in punishment of like obduracy. The form of the sentence denotes that God is recounting what he had said to the people in past time; hence it is best to translate the verbs in the future tense. Scattered them with a whirlwind; Septuagint, ἐκβαλῶ αὐτούς , "I will cast them out;" Vulgate, dispersi eos (comp. Job 27:21 ; Amos 1:14 ). Nations whom they knew... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Zechariah 7:13

And it came to pass - that is, this which God had said, “As He cried and they heard not, so shall they cry and I will not hear, saith the Lord of hosts.” God had often said this. “It shall be too late to cry for mercy, when it is the time of justice.” So Wisdom had said by Solomon; “then, that is, when distress and anguish cometh upon them, they shall call upon Me, but I will not answer; they shall seek Me early, and they shall not find Me” Proverbs 1:27-28. So by Isaiah, “When ye spread forth... read more

But I scattered them - Rather, “And I will scatter them.” The saying continues what God had said that he had said, and which had come to pass. Among all nations whom they knew not. So God had repeatedly said by Jeremiah, “I will cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, ye nor your fathers; where I will not show you favor” (Jeremiah 16:13; add Jeremiah 15:14; Jeremiah 17:4). This was the aggravation of the original woe in the law: “The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from... read more

Zechariah 7:13-14. Therefore On this very account; as he cried As I, by my Spirit in my prophets, called, warned, entreated, and urged them to repent, obey, and live, but they would not; so they cried In their deep distress, and amidst their overwhelming calamities; and I would not hear Would not answer, or regard their prayer. But I scattered them Cast them out of their habitations, and dispersed them through distant countries; with a whirlwind Suddenly and irresistibly; among... read more

7:1-8:23 A QUESTION ABOUT CERTAIN FASTSMourning over the past (7:1-14)In captivity the Jews had instituted four fasts to mourn the destruction of Jerusalem. One fast was in the tenth month, which was the month the Babylonians laid siege to the city. One was in the fourth month, to mark the day eighteen months later when the Babylonians broke through the walls and invaded the city. Another was in the fifth month, to mark the destruction of the temple. The other was in the seventh month, to mark... read more

I scattered them with a whirlwind. Not the usual verb, to scatter; but sa'ar = to drive with a tempest. Occurs only seven times (2 Kings 6:11 ("sore troubled"). Isaiah 54:11 .Hosea 13:3; 3 John 1:113 John 1:11 , Jonah 1:13 .Habakkuk 3:14; Habakkuk 3:14 ). the land was desolate. Reference to Pentateuch (Leviticus 26:22 ). after them: i.e. when they had left it. pleasant = desirable. Daniel 8:9 . read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 7:13

"And it is come to pass that, as he cried, and they would not hear, so they shall cry, and I will not hear, said Jehovah of hosts."The change of persons here, "He cried... I will not hear," both having reference to Jehovah, is a source of perplexity to some students; this is due only to the fact that the prophets simply did not write like other people. This switch from one person to another, and such things as the scrambling of tenses, along with the failure always to form complete sentences,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 7:14

"But I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. So that all the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate."Here again we have a change of tense: "I will scatter ... the land was desolate after them"; but there is a discernible reason for it. The prophecy, "I will scatter ... etc." had just been fulfilled in the Babylonian captivity and in the Assyrian captivity preceding it; but... read more

Zechariah 7:14. I scattered them with a whirlwind— This sublime metaphor is expressed by a single word in the original, ואסערם vaeisaarem. See Archbishop Newcome. REFLECTIONS.—1st, Though we have nothing here recorded of the prophet for two years, we are assured that he was well employed, Ezr 6:14 but he had no commission to publish his discourses, till on the present occasion. We have, 1. The question proposed concerning fasting. Sherezer and Regem-melech, persons of some note, with their men,... read more
