Zaccaria 12:6

La Riveduta Bibbia

In quel giorno, io renderò i capi di Giuda come un braciere ardente in mezzo a delle legna, come una torcia accesa in mezzo a dei covoni; essi divoreranno a destra e a sinistra tutti i popoli d’ogn’intorno; e Gerusalemme sarà ancora abitata nel suo proprio luogo, a Gerusalemme.

Parallel Translations

La Nuova Diodati
In quel giorno far dei capi di Giuda come un braciere ardente in mezzo a della legna, come una torcia accesa in mezzo ai covoni. Essi divoreranno a destra e a sinistra tutti i popoli circostanti; ma Gerusalemme sar ancora abitata nel suo proprio luogo, a Gerusalemme.

Giovanni Diodati Bibbia
In quel giorno farò che i capi di Giuda saranno come un focolare fra delle legne, e come una fiaccola accesa fra delle mannelle di biade; e consumeranno a destra, ed a sinistra, tutti i popoli d’intorno; e Gerusalemme sarà ancora abitata nel luogo suo, in Gerusalemme.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

In that day will I make the governors of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood,.... As a large hearth of fire, with wood all about it, devours and consumes it; so shall the governors of Judah be to the nations that shall come up against Jerusalem. The Targum renders it,

"as a garment of fire among wood:''

and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; of wheat, which presently destroys it; see Obadiah 1:18:

and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left; on the south and on the north, as the Targum interprets it. The phrase denotes the utter destruction of the people on all sides:

and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, [even] in Jerusalem; upon that very spot of ground which was formerly called Jerusalem shall the city be built again, and inhabited; and shall continue, notwithstanding the attempts of all the nations of the earth to destroy it; see Jeremiah 30:18.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I will make the governors of Judah like a hearth - or “cauldron” of fire large, broad, deep, and full of fire, among the wood which is prepared for burning, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf The fire could not kindle the wood or the sheaf, of itself, unless applied to it. All is of the agency of God: “I will make.”

Ribera: “He foretells the increase of the Church, which by such persecutions shall not be diminished, but shall be marvelously increased. The preachers of the Church shall raise up all the peoples round about, shall destroy all unbelief, and shall kindle the hearts of hearers with the fire of the divine word.” “On the right hand and on the left.” Ribera: “He indicates the strength and success of the preachers, whom no one can resist nor hinder,” as our Lord says, “I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist” Luke 21:15.

And Jerusalem shall again - Rather, “yet, be inhabited.” “Yet” is a sort of burden in Zechariah’s prophecies . Osorius: “They at once burned up by the flame all the defilement of vices, and kindled the minds of people with the torch of divine love; at once consumed the enemy and cast a heavenly fire into the human heart: ‘yet;’ in despite of all appearances, of all which is against her. ‘She shall yet dwell in her own place in Jerusalem;’ for, however the waves of this world chafe and lash themselves into foam against her, they break themselves, not her; as soon as they have reached their utmost height, they fall back; if they toss themselves, and, for a moment, hide her light, they fall down at all sides, and the ray shines out, steady as before; for she is ‘founded on a rock,’ against which ‘the gates of hell’ should not ‘prevail’ Matthew 16:18.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Zechariah 12:6. Jerusalem shall be inhabited again — This seems to refer to the future conversion of the Jews, and their "return to their own land."
