A Prophetic Glimpse of Christ
All commentators agree that this verse finds its ultimate fulfillment in Jesus Christ. The New Testament explicitly applies it to Him. John 2:17 quotes 'the zeal of your house has eaten me up' when Jesus cleanses the temple, and Paul in Romans 15:3 uses 'the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me' to describe Christ's selfless suffering on behalf of others.
