Zechariah 7:6 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat for yourselves, and drink for yourselves? And when ye did eat - They had not observed those fasts as they should have done. They deplored the loss of their temple, and its riches, etc., but they did not humble themselves because of those iniquities which had brought the displeasure of God upon them, their temple, and their city.
