Zechariah 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 6:8

Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying
That is, the Lord of the whole earth spoke to the prophet with a loud voice, and uttered the following words: Behold, these that go toward the north country;
meaning the Medes and Persians, which went towards Babylon: have quieted my spirit in the north country;
by executing the judgments of God upon the Chaldeans, and by helping, favouring, and delivering the people of the Jews; which were very agreeable to the will of God, and well pleasing in his sight, signified by the quieting or refreshing his Spirit.
