Zechariah 5:4
_ _ The “theft” immediately meant is similar sacrilege to that complained of in Nehemiah 13:10; Malachi 3:8. They robbed God by neglecting to give Him His due in building His house, while they built their own houses, forswearing their obligations to Him; therefore, the “houses” they build shall be “consumed” with God’s “curse.” Probably literal theft and perjury accompanied their virtual theft and perjury as to the temple of God (Malachi 3:5). Stealing and perjury go together; for the covetous and fraudulent perjure themselves by God’s name without scruple (see Proverbs 30:9).
_ _ enter ... the house — In vain they guard and shut themselves up who incur the curse; it will inevitably enter even when they think themselves most secure.
_ _ consume ... timber ... stones — not leaving a vestige of it. So the “stones” and “timber” of the house of a leper (type of the sinner) were to be utterly removed (Leviticus 14:15; compare 1 Kings 18:38). |
Zechariah 5:4
It shall enter — This curse shall come with commission from me. It shall remain — It shall stick close to them and theirs like Gehazi's leprosy. And the stones — Nothing shall remain, as when both the timber and stones of a house are consumed. |
- and it shall remain:
Leviticus 14:34-45 When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession; ... And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry [them] forth out of the city into an unclean place.
Deuteronomy 7:26 Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: [but] thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it [is] a cursed thing.
Job 18:15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because [it is] none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
Job 20:26 All darkness [shall be] hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
Proverbs 3:33 The curse of the LORD [is] in the house of the wicked: but he blesseth the habitation of the just.
Habakkuk 2:9-11 Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil! ... For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.
James 5:2-3 Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten. ... Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
