Zechariah 10:11 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Zechariah 10:5-12

Here are divers precious promises made to the people of God, which look further than to the state of the Jews in the latter days of their church, and have certain reference to the spiritual Israel of God, the gospel-church, and all true believers. I. They shall have God's favour and presence, and shall be owned and accepted of him. This is the foundation of all the rest: The Lord is with them, Zech. 10:5. He espouses their cause, takes their part, is on their side; and, if he be for them, who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Zechariah 10:11

And he shall pass through the sea with affliction ,.... Either the people of the Jews, as Israel of old did, when they came out of Egypt, to which the allusion is; or the wind shall pass through the sea, as Aben Ezra supplies it, and it shall become dry; that is, the river of Egypt: or "affliction" F18 Pagninus, Montanus, Munster, Vatablus, Calvin, Drusius, Cocceius. , as many supply it, shall pass through the sea; the nations, which are many as the sea, as Kimchi interprets it; and so... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 10:11

And he shall pass through the sea - Here is an allusion to the passage of the Red Sea, on their coming out of Egypt, and to their crossing Jordan, when they went into the promised land; the waves or waters of both were dried up, thrown from side to side, till all the people passed safely through. When they shall return from the various countries in which they now sojourn, God will work, if necessary, similar miracles to those which he formerly worked for their forefathers; and the people... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 10:11

Verse 11 The Prophet confirms what he had said respecting the power of God, which is so great that it can easily and without any effort lay prostrate all the mighty forces of the world. As then the impediments which the Jews observed might have subverted their hope, the Prophet here removes them; he reminds the Jews that God’s power would be far superior to all the impediments which the world could throw in their way. But the expressions are figurative, and allusions are made to the history of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 10:5-12

Redemption. I. CONFLICT RESULTING IN VICTORY . II. VICTORY RESULTING IN UNION . This does not always happen. There have been wars that have bred more wars, and victories that have left strong hates and bitter memories prolonged for generations. Besides, union may be based on defeat in the interest of the conqueror and not of the conquered; more formal than real, more a thing of covenants and legal fictions than the free choice of the people. But here it is real and... read more

Victory, unification, and blessedness for the good. "And they shall be as mighty men," etc. This paragraph is a continuation of the preceding portions of the chapter. The various statements bring under our notice subjects which, if we give them a spiritual application, are of great and permanent interest, viz. the subjects of victory, unification, and blessedness. I. VICTORY . "And they shall be as mighty men, which tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 10:6-12

The restoration of Israel. "And I will strengthen the house of Judah," etc. The separate mention in this passage ( Zechariah 10:6 , Zechariah 10:7 ) of Judah, Joseph, and Ephraim, taken together with that of Gilead, Lebanon, Egypt, and Assyria, in Zechariah 10:10 , Zechariah 10:11 , seems an indication that we now have to do especially with Israel "after the flesh." The previous verses spoke of "the times of the Gentiles," and of the great spiritual conquests to be inaugurated... read more

The great exodus. From Egypt—the type (cf. Isaiah 11:11-16 ). I. THE GATHERING . So now under the gospel. From far and near they come. At the call of Jesus they gather under the banner of the cross. II. THE PASSAGE . ( Zechariah 10:11 .) Like children of Israel—pilgrims in the wilderness Manifold trials. Educated by adversity and prosperity. Course ever onward, under the hand and guidance of God. III. THE SETTLEMENT . Canaan. Future glory of the Church—in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Zechariah 10:11

He shall pass through the sea with affliction. In bringing his people back the Lord is ready to repeat the miracles of the Exodus. This is the general meaning of the passage; but the details present difficulties. For "he shall pass" the LXX . gives, "they shall pass through." But the reference is plainly to Jehovah, as the following clause shows. The next two words are in apposition, "the sea," "affliction." Revised Version, "the sea of affliction;" Septuagint, ἐν θαλάσσῃ στενῇ ,... read more
