Zechariah 12:6

In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood ,.... As a large hearth of fire, with wood all about it, devours and consumes it; so shall the governors of Judah be to the nations that shall come up against Jerusalem. The Targum renders it,

"as a garment of fire among wood:'

and like a torch of fire in a sheaf ; of wheat, which presently destroys it; see Obadiah 1:18 ,

and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left ; on the south and on the north, as the Targum interprets it. The phrase denotes the utter destruction of the people on all sides:

and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem ; upon that very spot of ground which was formerly called Jerusalem shall the city be built again, and inhabited; and shall continue, notwithstanding the attempts of all the nations of the earth to destroy it; see Jeremiah 30:18 .
