Albert Barnes Commentary Zechariah 2:13

"Be silent, all flesh, before Jehovah; for he is waked up out of his holy habitation." — Zechariah 2:13 (ASV)

Be silent - Literally, “hush all flesh, before the Lord” (see commentary on Habakkuk 2:20, p. 207); man in his weakness (Genesis 6:3; 2 Chronicles 32:8; Job 10:4; Psalms 56:4; Psalms 78:39; Isaiah 31:3; Jeremiah 17:5), “flesh and blood” in the language of the New Testament (Matthew 16:17; 1 Corinthians 15:50; Galatians 1:16), before God his Maker. “All flesh”, the whole human race (Genesis 6:12; Psalms 65:3; Psalms 145:21; Isaiah 40:5–6; Isaiah 49:26; Isaiah 66:23; Joel 3:1; Ezekiel 21:4, 9-10), is to be hushed before God, because His judgments, as His mercies, are over all.

For God arises - God seems to be quiescent, as it were, when He bears with us; to arise, when He puts forth His power, either for us, when we pray, “Lord, awake to help me” (Psalms 59:4; Psalms 44:24); or in displeasure. His “holy habitation” is alike the tabernacle (1 Samuel 2:29, 32; Psalms 26:9; Psalms 68:6), temple (2 Chronicles 36:15), heaven (Deuteronomy 26:15; Jeremiah 25:30; 2 Chronicles 30:27), since His presence is in all.
