Commentary on Zechariah 1:3

Theological / Devotional

Turn ye. God pleads with the people to repent, and thus to receive the divine favor that would enable them safely and surely to carry on the work of rebuilding the Temple (see p. 1085). The need of repentance and reformation is often stressed by Zechariah (see chs. 3:7; 6:15; 7:7-10; 8:16, 17).

Saith the Lord. The threefold repetition of this phrase is doubtless for the sake of emphasis.
