With great fervor I am zealous for her.’

In the streets of Jerusalem,
Each one with his staff in his hand
Because of1 great age.

Zechariah 8:2
I was jealous - Some refer this to the Jews themselves. They were as the spouse of Jehovah: but they were unfaithful, and God punished them as an injured husband might be expected to punish an unfaithful wife. Others apply it to the enemies of the Jews. Though I gave them a commission to afflict you, yet they exceeded their commission: I will therefore deal with them in fury - in vindictive justice.
