On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The very same duties which the former prophets pressed upon their fathers from the consideration of the wrath threatened ( ch. vii. 9, 10 ) this prophet presses upon them from the consideration of the mercy promised: "Leave it to God, to perform for you what he has promised, in his own way and time, but upon condition that you make conscience of your duty.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The prophet answers the query (Zec 7:3) as to the fast in the fifth month, by a reply applying to all their fasts: these are to be turned into days of rejoicing. So Jesus replied to His disciples when similarly consulting Him as to why fasting was not imposed by Him, as it was by John the Baptist. When the Sun of righteousness shines, tears are dried up (Mt 9:15).
