Zechariah 9:17
_ _ his goodness ... his beauty — the goodness and beauty which Jehovah-Messiah bestows on His people. Not as Maurer thinks, the goodness, etc., of His land or His people (Psalms 31:19; Jeremiah 31:12).
_ _ make ... cheerful — literally, “make it grow.”
_ _ new wine the maids — supply, “shall make ... to grow.” Corn and wine abundant indicate peace and plenty. The new wine gladdening the maids is peculiar to this passage. It confutes those who interdict the use of wine as food. The Jews, heretofore straitened in provisions through pressure of the foe, shall now have abundance to cheer, not merely the old, but even the youths and maidens [Calvin]. |
Zechariah 9:17
His goodness — Infinite goodness is the fountain of all the good done for this people. His beauty — How wonderful the beauty of Divine Providence in Israel's deliverance and salvation? Corn — Plentiful harvests shall make the young men chearful in sowing, reaping, and eating the fruits thereof. New wine — There shall be such plenty of wine, that all, young and old, shall be cheared with it. |
