Zechariah 8:15 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 8:15

So again
Or "so I am returned" F14, as in ( Zechariah 8:3 ) : have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem, and to the
house of Judah;
by bestowing the above mentioned blessings on them; and as Jehovah has thought, so it comes to pass, and as he has purposed, so it stands; whatever he determines shall be, as for evil, so for good, ( Isaiah 14:24 ) : fear ye not;
as in ( Zechariah 8:13 ) .

Zechariah 8:15 In-Context

13 House of Y'hudah and house of Isra'el, just as you were formerly a curse among the nations, so now I will save you; and you will be a blessing. Don't be afraid, but take courage!'
14 "For ADONAI-Tzva'ot says, 'Just as I resolved to do you harm when your forefathers provoked me,' ADONAI-Tzva'ot says, 'and I did not relent;
15 so now, I resolve to do good to Yerushalayim and to the house of Y'hudah. Don't be afraid!
16 These are the things you are to do: speak the truth to each other; in your courts, administer justice that is true and conducive to peace;
17 don't plot harm against each other; and don't love perjury; for all these are things I hate,' says ADONAI."
