SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:10
Porque antes de estos días no ha habido paga de hombre, ni paga de bestia, ni hubo paz alguna para entrante ni para saliente, a causa de la angustia; porque yo incité a todos los hombres, cada cual contra su compañero.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Zechariah 8:10
Verse 10. For before these days there was no hire for man] Previously to this, ye had no prosperity; ye had nothing but civil divisions and domestic broils. I abandoned you to your own spirits, and to your own ways.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 10. For before these days , etc.] That the temple began to be built: there was no hire for men, nor any hire for beasts ; that turned to any account; the wages earned by the one, and with the other, were as if they were put into a bag with holes, did not prosper with them, or do them any service, ( Haggai 1:6 2:16): neither [was there any] peace to him that went out or came in, because of the affliction ; there was no safety in passing to and fro, nor any peaceable enjoyment of what a man had, because of affliction and oppression by the enemy on every side, and from every quarter: for I set all men everyone against his neighbour ; expressive of the internal divisions and contentions among themselves, which are said to be of the Lord, because he permitted them as a chastisement upon them for their sins.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 9-17 - Those only who lay their hands to the plough of duty, shall have the strengthened with the promises of mercy: those who avoid their fathers faults have the curse turned into a blessing. Those who believed the promises, were to show their faith by their works, and to wait the fulfilment. When God is displeased, he can cause trade to decay, an set every man against his neighbour; but when he returns in mercy, all is happy and prosperous. Surely believers in Christ must not trifl with the exhortation to put away lying, and to speak every man peac with his neighbour, to hate what the Lord hates, and to love tha wherein he delights.
