Commentary on Zechariah 1:6

Theological / Devotional

Take hold of. Heb. nasag, “overtake.” The word is thus translated in Gen. 44:4; Deut. 28:2, 15, 45. The messages and “statutes” would eventually bring the threatened chastisement.

Returned. Heb. shub, translated “repent” in 1 Kings 8:47; Eze. 14:6 ; 18:30, and could be so rendered here (see RSV).
