Matthew Henry Commentary Zechariah 10:6-12

"And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will bring them back; for I have mercy upon them; and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am Jehovah their God, and I will hear them. And [they of] Ephraim shall be like a mighty man, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine; yea, their children shall see it, and rejoice; their heart shall be glad in Jehovah. I will hiss for them, and gather them; for I have redeemed them; and they shall increase as they have increased. And I will sow them among the peoples; and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and shall return. I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and [place] shall not be found for them. And he will pass through the sea of affliction, and will smite the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up; and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart. And I will strengthen them in Jehovah; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith Jehovah." — Zechariah 10:6-12 (ASV)

Here are precious promises to the people of God, which refer to the state of the Jews and even to the latter days of the church. Preaching the gospel is God's call for souls to come to Jesus Christ. Those whom Christ redeemed by his blood, God will gather by his grace.

Difficulties will be overcome easily and effectually, like those that obstructed the deliverance from Egypt. God himself will be their strength and their song.

When we resist and so overcome our spiritual enemies, then our hearts will rejoice. If God strengthens us, we must exert ourselves in all the duties of the Christian life, must be active in the work of God; and we must do all in the name of the Lord Jesus.
