19 public-domain excerpts on Zechariah 10, from the church fathers to the Puritans.

Calvin 12 Matthew Henry 3 Spurgeon 3 John Wesley 1

“Here are precious promises to the people of God, which look 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 shall be got over easily, and effectually, as those in the way of the deliverance out of Egypt. God himself will be their strength, and their song. When we resist, and so overcome our spiritual enemies, then our hearts shall rejoice. …”

— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Zechariah 10:6–30 (Public Domain)
