CONTENTS
This Chapter, like the former, is full of threatenings to the people to whom it refers, on account of their ill-will to Israel. It is but short, but it contains heavy tidings.
Though the name of the nation against whom woe is here denounced, is not mentioned; yet, by being said to be beyond the rivers of Ethiopia, it is easy to discover, that it is a nation which had proved perfidious to Israel. The Lord taketh up, and avengeth the quarrel of his people; whoso toucheth them, toucheth the apple of his eye; Zechariah 2:8.
