Zechariah 10:8 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

I will hiss for them; though they are now scattered far off, I will cause them to return; I will whistle, as a shepherd, and they, as scattered sheep, shall run with sped back to the flock: I called their enemies so once, and they came, Isaiah 5:26, Isaiah 7:18,19; and my people will come when thus I call to them. And gather them; this shall be enough to bring them together; or it shall be done as soon as spoke, so soon as I whistle they shall return. I have redeemed them; I have been at the care and charge of redeeming, I raised Cyrus to do it; I bestowed all nations and kingdoms on him, and afterwards on Darius Hystaspes, to do this, to restore my exiles, to replant Judah, to rebuild the city and temple; and I will do this also, which is much less, I will, as a shepherd with his pastoral whistle, call them in. They shall increase as they have increased; a promise made Jeremiah 33:22, and Ezekiel 36:1,11,37,38, which see.
