13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the Lord: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.
13 Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling."
13 Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.
13 Quiet, everyone! Shh! Silence before God. Something's afoot in his holy house. He's on the move!
13 Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!"
13 Be silent before the Lord, all humanity, for he is springing into action from his holy dwelling."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Zechariah 2:13
Commentary on Zechariah 2:10-13
(Read Zechariah 2:10-13)
Here is a prediction of the coming of Christ in human nature. Many nations in that day would renounce idolatry, and God will own those for his people who join him with purpose of heart. Glorious times are foretold as a prophecy of our Lord's coming and kingdom. God is about to do something unexpected, and very surprising, and to plead his people's cause, which had long seemed neglected. Silently submit to his holy will, and patiently wait the event; assured that God will complete all his work. He will ere long come to judgment, to complete the salvation of his people, and to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their sins.
