On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

It was thus that God's word came to Zechariah, not that he might keep to himself what God had said, but that he might be a faithful dispenser of his truth. With regard to Zechariah, they are mistaken who regard him as the son of Jehoiadah, they are mistaken by Christ in Matthew 23:35.

John Calvin· Commentaries, 1554reformed

It is he that speaks, and therefore you are bound to regard what he says." Turn you to me, saith the Lord of hosts (this intimates the authority and obligation of the command), and I will turn to you, saith the Lord of hosts --this intimates the validity and value of the promise; so that it is no vain repetition.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Turn ye unto me . . . and I will turn--that is, and then, as the sure consequence, "I will turn unto you" (Mal 3:7; Jas 4:8; compare also Jer 3:12; Though God hath brought you back from captivity, yet this state will not last long unless ye are really converted.
