Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Zechariah 7:10

_ _ imagine evil — that is, devise evil. The Septuagint takes it, Harbor not the desire of revenge (Leviticus 19:18). “Devise evil against one another” is simpler (Psalms 36:4; Micah 2:1).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Zechariah 7:8-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Zechariah 7:10

Imagine evil — Neither think ill of, or with ill to, nor plot evil against one another.
