Matthew Poole and continuators on Zechariah 7:9

9 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment , and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother .

Or did speak, i. e. to your Fathers, and thus he doth speak to you now.

God required former Judges, and he requireth present Judges, without hatred, prejudice, partiality, or bribery, to give true sentence.

Be kind and beneficent to such as need. Wrong none, if you could, do good to all you can,

with tenderest, and most abundant pity; with a heart that feels their miseries.

As this is every mans duty, let it be every ones practice.

i. e. to every one that needs you.
