Zechariah 8:12 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

For the seed, which before brought nothing, or very little, forth, shall now prosper into a plentiful harvest, such as Zechariah 3:10. The vine shall give her fruit: this was very much the wealth and support of that people; this had been blasted, as Haggai 1:11, now it shall be blest, and bring forth her expected fruit. The ground shall give her increase; summarily, the ground you plant shall abundantly bring forth her fruit to your satisfaction. The heavens shall give their dew; the heavens, which before were as brass, and made your earth as iron, hard, barren, shall now drop down their rain, and make the earth fruitful. Much like that Psalms 72:3 Hosea 2:18. I will cause, by my special, singular providence, and blessing on them. To possess; to enjoy, have the things, and the comfort of them; whereas before, though they ate, they were not satisfied, had not enough, Haggai 1:6.
