Tetapi segala firman dan ketetapan-Ku yang telah Kuperintahkan kepada hamba-hamba-Ku, para nabi, bukankah itu telah sampai kepada nenek moyangmu? Maka bertobatlah mereka serta berkata: Sebagaimana TUHAN semesta alam bermaksud mengambil tindakan terhadap kita sesuai dengan tingkah laku kita dan perbuatan kita, demikianlah Ia mengambil tindakan terhadap kita!"
Kendatilah, maka segala firman-Ku dan segala syariat-Ku yang telah Kuamanatkan kepada hamba-Ku segala nabi itu, bukankah ia itu sudah mengenai nenek moyang kamu, sehingga selalu harus mereka itu berkata demikian: Seperti niat Tuhan hendak berbuat akan kami setuju dengan jalan kami dan setuju dengan perbuatan kami, demikianpun sudah dibuatnya akan kami!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets,.... That is, the predictions which he ordered his prophets to declare in his name, that their fathers should die by the sword, or famine, or pestilence, or be carried captive, which he purposed in himself, and threatened them with:
did they not take hold of your fathers? overtake them, seize upon them, and have their accomplishment in them? not one thing has failed, or come short of being fulfilled, of all that was determined, or said should be done:
and they returned and said; that is, as many of them as perished not, but were carried captive; at least many of them, who either were thoroughly converted, and turned from their evil, or however in appearance: and who were obliged to own,
Like as the Lord of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doing, so hath he dealt with us: as he purposed, so he performed, and that with great justice and equity, being what their evil ways and doings righteously deserved; see
Isaiah 14:24.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Only My words and My decrees - Which God spake by them, “did not they overtake them?” (as Psalms 2:7; Zephaniah 2:2). Pagan reminiscence of God’s justice acknowledged , “Rarely hath punishment with limping tread parted with the forerunning miscreant.” “All these curses,” Moses foretells, “shall come upon thee and overtake thee, until thou art destroyed” Deuteronomy 28:45.
And they returned to God and said - The history of the Jews in Babylon is omitted in Holy Scripture, except as to His special dealings with Daniel and his three companions. Yet Jeremiah confesses in words, what Zechariah had apparently in his mind; “The Lord hath done that which He purposed; He hath fulfilled His word, which He commanded in the days of old” Lamentations 2:17. The Lamentations are one long confession of deserved punishment, such as Daniel too made in the name of his people with himself Daniel 9:4-16.
It was one long waiting for God and for the restoration of His visible worship. Yet repentance was a condition of their restoration.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Zechariah 1:6. Did they not take hold of your fathers? — Every thing happened according to the predictions, and they were obliged to acknowledge this; and yet they would not turn from their evil way.
