Zacharias 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 ) .

Zacharias 8:15 In-Context

13 And it shall come to pass, as ye were a curse among the nations, O house of Juda, and house of Israel; so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: be of good courage, and strengthen your hands.
14 For thus saith the Lord Almighty; As I took counsel to afflict you when your fathers provoked me, saith the Lord Almighty, and I repented not:
15 so have I prepared and taken counsel in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Juda: be ye of good courage.
16 These the things which ye shall do; speak truth every one with his neighbour; judge truth and peaceable judgment in your gates:
17 and let none of you devise evil in his heart against his neighbour; and love not a false oath: for all these things I hate, saith the Lord Almighty.
