Contextual Overview

8 Then the Word of the Lord came to Zechariah saying, 9 "The Lord of All said, ‘Do what is right and be kind and show loving-pity to one another. 10 Do not make it hard for the woman whose husband has died, or the child who has no parents, or the stranger, or the poor. Do not make sinful plans in your hearts against one another.' 11 But they would not listen. They turned away and stopped their ears from hearing. 12 They made their hearts like hard stone, so that they could not hear the Law and the words which the Lord of All had sent by His Spirit through the men who spoke for Him in the past. So the Lord of All became very angry. 13 When I called, they would not listen. So when they called, I would not listen," says the Lord of All. 14 "With the wind of a storm I sent them everywhere among all the nations that they had not known. The land was laid waste behind them, so that no one could come or go. They turned the good land into an empty waste."

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.
