Commentary on Zechariah 8:6

Theological / Devotional

Marvellous. From the Heb.paZa’, which may be translated “to be too difficult” (see Gen. 18:14; Deut. 17:8; etc.). Thus understood, there is a rebuke here for lack of faith. If Israel lacked the necessary faith, what God planned to do would be “too difficult” for Him. On the other hand, paid’ also means “to be different,” “to be conspicuous,” “to be curious,” hence the translation “marvellous.”
