Zacarias 1:5 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 1:5

Your fathers, where [are] they?
&c.] They are not in the land of the living; they perished by the sword of the Chaldeans, or died in captivity: and the prophets, do they live for ever?
meaning either the false prophets, as Hananiah and Shemaiah, ( Jeremiah 28:17 ) ( 29:32 ) or the true prophets of the Lord; and the words may be considered as a prevention of an objection the people might make, taken from their prophets dying in common with their fathers; and so the Targum paraphrases them, "and if you should say, the prophets, do they live for ever?" which is followed by Jarchi, and embraced by many interpreters: the answer is, it is true they died; but then their words live, and have had their full accomplishment.

E eles se arrependeram, e disseram: Assim como o Senhor dos exércitos fez tenção de nos tratar, segundo os nossos caminhos, e segundo as nossas obras, assim ele nos tratou.
7 Aos vinte e quatro dias do mês undécimo, que é o mês de sebate, no segundo ano de Dario, veio a palavra do Senhor ao profeta Zacarias, filho de Berequias, filho de Ido, dizendo:
