Contextual Overview

1 The word of the LORD of Hosts came to me. 2 Thus says the LORD of Hosts: "I am jealous for Tziyon with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath." 3 Thus says the LORD: "I have returned to Tziyon, and will dwell in the midst of Yerushalayim. Yerushalayim shall be called 'The City of Truth;' and the mountain of the LORD of Hosts, 'The Holy Mountain.'" 4 Thus says the LORD of Hosts: "Old men and old women will again dwell in the streets of Yerushalayim, every man with his staff in his hand for very age. 5 The streets of the city will be full of boys and girls playing in its streets." 6 Thus says the LORD of Hosts: "If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvelous in my eyes?" says the LORD of Hosts. 7 Thus says the LORD of Hosts: "Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; 8 and I will bring them, and they will dwell in the midst of Yerushalayim; and they will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Again the word of the Lord of hosts came [to me] saying. The phrase, "to me", is wanting in the Hebrew text; and is the only place it is wanting in, as the Masora observes; though undoubtedly it is to be understood; and therefore is rightly supplied, as it is by the Targum, "with me". Mention being made in the latter part of the preceding chapter Zechariah 7:8 of the desolations of the earth, comfort is here administered, as Aben Ezra notes.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Dionysius: “After the Lord had, in the preceding chapter, manifoldly rebuked the Jewish people, He now comforts it with renewed promises, as a good physician, who after a bitter draught employs sweet and soothing remedies; as that most loving Samaritan poured in wine and oil.” The chapter falls into two portions, each marked by the words, The Word of the Lord of hosts came or came unto me, the first Zechariah 8:1-17 declaring the reversal of the former judgments, and the complete, though conditional, restoration of God’s favor; the 2nd Zechariah 8:18-23 containing the answer to the original question as to those fasts, in the declaration of the joy and the spread of the Gospel. The first portion has, again, a sevenfold, the second, a threefold subordinate division; marked by the beginning, “Thus saith the Lord of hosts.”

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER VIII

In this chapter God promises the continuance of his favour to

those who are returned from the captivity; so that upon the

removal of his judgments, the fasts they had observed during

the captivity may now be converted to so many occasions of

rejoicing. He likewise promises in due time a general

restoration of his people, and the enlargement of the Church

by the accession of the Gentiles, 1-20.

The conclusion of the chapter intimates farther that the Jews,

after their restoration, will be instrumental in converting

many other nations, 21-23.

Compare Romans 11:15-16.
