Zechariah 6:8

Zechariah 6:8. Then cried he upon me,—behold— Then cried he unto me,—behold, &c. "The black horses, denoting the Persian empire, have appeased my wrath by conquering the Babylonians, and by executing that vengeance upon them, which they deserved for their cruelty towards my people." The word רוה ruach, rendered spirit, often signifies anger. See Grotius and Houbigant.
