Zechariah 9:17 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

For how great [is] his goodness, and how great [is] his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.

Ver. 17. For how great is his goodness] He shuts up all with this sweet epiphonema or exclamation, admiring the singular goodness of God to his people in all the former particulars; and yet promising them abundance of outward necessaries, even to an honest affluence; they should have store of corn and wine; so much as should make them succulent and vigorous, full of sap and good humours, provided, that first they content not themselves with the natural use of the creature, but taste how good the Lord is, and next, that they put this promise into suit by their prayers, as Zechariah 10:1 .
