Contextual Overview

8Then the word of Yahweh came to Zechariah saying, 9"Thus has Yahweh of hosts said, ‘Judge with true justice and show lovingkindness and compassion each to his brother; 10and do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the sojourner or the afflicted; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.' 11But they refused to give heed and turned a stubborn shoulder and dulled their ears from hearing. 12And they made their hearts diamond-hard so that they could not hear the law and the words which Yahweh of hosts had sent by His Spirit by the hand of the former prophets; therefore great wrath came from Yahweh of hosts. 13And it happened that just as He called and they would not listen, so they called and I would not listen," says Yahweh of hosts; 14"but I scattered them with a storm wind among all the nations whom they have not known. Thus the land is desolated behind them so that no one was passing through and returning, for they made the pleasant land desolate."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the word of the Lord came unto Zechariah, saying. Giving him orders to repeat what the former prophets had said, and to urge the same things on the people which they had before rejected, the rejection of which had issued in their ruin.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Instead of quoting the former prophets, Zechariah gives the substance of their exhortations, as renewed to himself.
