Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 14:12

_ _ Punishment on the foe, the last Antichristian confederacy (Isaiah 59:18; Isaiah 66:24; Ezekiel 38:1-39:29; Revelation 19:17-21). A living death: the corruption (Galatians 6:8) of death combined in ghastly union with the conscious sensibility of life. Sin will be felt by the sinner in all its loathsomeness, inseparably clinging to him as a festering, putrid body.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 14:8-15.
