Potym mię zawołał, a mówił tak ku mnie: Oto ty, co do ziemie północnej szły, uczyniły dosyć mysli mojej w ziemi północnej.
A zawoławszy mię rzekł do mnie, mówiąc: Oto te, które wyszły do ziemi północnej, uspokoiły ducha mego w ziemi północnej.
Następnie zawołał do mnie tymi słowy: Spójrz! Te, które biegną do ziemi północnej, uspokoiły mego Ducha w ziemi północnej.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying,.... That is, the Lord of the whole earth spoke to the prophet with a loud voice, and uttered the following words:
Behold, these that go toward the north country; meaning the Medes and Persians, which went towards Babylon:
have quieted my spirit in the north country; by executing the judgments of God upon the Chaldeans, and by helping, favouring, and delivering the people of the Jews; which were very agreeable to the will of God, and well pleasing in his sight, signified by the quieting or refreshing his Spirit.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Then God, or the Angel of the Lord - who speaks of what belonged to God alone, âcalled meâ (probably âloudlyâ Judges 4:10, Judges 4:13; 2 Samuel 20:4-5), so as to command his attention to this which most immediately concerned his people.
These have quieted My spirit in the north country - Or rather, âhave made My anger to restâ on, that is, have carried it thither and deposited it there, made it to rest upon them, as its abode, as John saith of the unbelieving, âThe wrath of God abideth on himâ John 3:36. Babylon had been the final antagonist and subduer of the people of God. It had at the outset destroyed the temple of God, and carried off its vessels to adorn idol-temples. Its empire closed on that night when it triumphed over God , using the vessels dedicated to Him, to the glorifying of their idols. âIn that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldaeans slain.â This final execution of Godâs anger upon that their destroyer was the earnest of the rest to them; and in this the visions pause.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Zechariah 6:8. Have quieted my spirit in the north country. — They have fulfilled my judgments on Assyria and Chaldea. Nabopolassar and Cyrus first, against the Assyrians and Chaldeans; and Alexander next, against the Persians. On this vision Abp. Newcome remarks:-
The black horses seem to denote the Persian empire; which, by subduing the Chaldeans, and being about to inflict a second heavy chastisement on Babylon, quieted God's spirit with respect to Chaldea; a country always spoken of as lying to the north of the Jews.
The white horses seem to be the Macedonian empire; which, like the Persian, overcame Chaldea.
The spotted bay horses seem to be the Roman empire. This description suits it because it was governed by kings, consuls, dictators, and emperors. It penetrated southward to Egypt and Africa. The Roman empire is mentioned twice, Zechariah 6:6-7, under each epithet given it, Zechariah 6:3.
