Zechariah 8:19
_ _ fast of ... fourth month — On the fourth month of the eleventh year of Zedekiah’s reign, on the ninth day, Jerusalem was taken (Jeremiah 39:2; Jeremiah 52:6, Jeremiah 52:7). It was therefore made a fast day.
_ _ fifth ... seventh — (See on Zechariah 7:3; see on Zechariah 7:5).
_ _ tenth — On the tenth month and tenth day, in the ninth year of Zedekiah, the siege began (Jeremiah 52:4).
_ _ therefore love the truth — or, “only love.” English Version is better. God’s blessing covenanted to Israel is not made to depend on Israel’s goodness: but Israel’s goodness should follow as the consequence of God’s gracious promises (Zechariah 8:16, Zechariah 8:17; Zechariah 7:9, Zechariah 7:10). God will bless, but not those who harden themselves in sin. |
Zechariah 8:19
Thus saith the Lord — This verse is a final decision of the case: provided they do these things required, Zechariah 8:16-17, then shall the fasting cease, and turn into joyful feasts. The fourth month — Wherein the city was taken by the Babylonians. The fifth — In which the temple was burnt. The seventh — Wherein Gedaliah was killed. The tenth — On the tenth day whereof the king of Babylon's army sat down before the city. |
Zechariah 8:19
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the (k) tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace.
(k) Which fast was appointed when the city was besieged, and was the first fast of these four. And here the prophet shows that if the Jews will repent, and turn wholly to God, they will have no more occasion to fast, or to show signs of heaviness, for God will send them joy and gladness. |
