Commentary on Zechariah 8:2

Theological / Devotional

Thus saith the Lord. This formula appears 10 times in ch. 8. The repetition certifies the reliability of the divine promises. In every instance but one (v. 3) the more complete form, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts,” occurs.

Jealous for Zion. Compare Joel 2:18.
