Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 8:10

The Biblical Illustrator - Zechariah 8:9-10

Zechariah 8:9-10For before these days there was no hire for man Society before the temple was builtA neglected temple always means a ruined society.These words are not to be applied locally or parochially; they express an eternal and unchangeable principle: a neglected God is a frowning heaven, a frowning heaven is a desolated earth.
