8 I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased.
8 I will signal for them and gather them in. Surely I will redeem them; they will be as numerous as before.
8 "I will whistle for them and gather them in, for I have redeemed them, and they shall be as many as they were before.
8 I'll whistle and they'll all come running. I've set them free - oh, how they'll flourish!
8 I will whistle for them and gather them, For I will redeem them; And they shall increase as they once increased.
8 When I whistle to them, they will come running, for I have redeemed them. From the few who are left, they will grow as numerous as they were before.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Zechariah 10:8
Commentary on Zechariah 10:6-12
(Read Zechariah 10:6-12)
Here are precious promises to the people of God, which look to the state of the Jews, and even to the latter days of the church. Preaching the gospel is God's call for souls to come to Jesus Christ. Those whom Christ redeemed by his blood, God will gather by his grace. Difficulties shall be got over easily, and effectually, as those in the way of the deliverance out of Egypt. God himself will be their strength, and their song. When we resist, and so overcome our spiritual enemies, then our hearts shall rejoice. If God strengthen us, we must bestir ourselves in all the duties of the Christian life, must be active in the work of God; and we must do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.
