Zechariah 8:11 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 8:11

But now I [will] not [be] unto the residue of this people,
&c.] The remnant brought out of captivity, settled in the land, and now rebuilding the temple: as in the former days, saith the Lord of hosts;
when they neglected the house of the Lord, caring only for their own cieled houses, ( Haggai 1:2-11 ) .

Zechariah 8:11 In-Context

9 "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Let your hands be strong, you who are listening in these days to these words from the mouth of the prophets, those who spoke in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, to the end that the temple might be built.
10 'For before those days there was no wage for man or any wage for animal; and for him who went out or came in there was no peace because of his enemies, and I set all men one against another.
11 'But now I will not treat the remnant of this people as in the former days,' declares the LORD of hosts.
12 'For there will be peace for the seed: the vine will yield its fruit, the land will yield its produce and the heavens will give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
13 'It will come about that just as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you that you may become a blessing. Do not fear; let your hands be strong.'
