Matthew Poole and continuators on Zechariah 8:12

12 For the seed shall be prosperous, the vine shall give her fruit , and the ground shall give her increase , and the heavens shall give their dew , and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

Which before brought nothing, or very little forth, shall now prosper into a plentiful Harvest, such as Mal. 3.10.

This was very much the Wealth and support of that people, this had been blasted, as Hag. 1.9, 10. now it shall be blest, and bring forth her expected fruit.

Summarily, the ground you plant shall abundantly bring forth her fruit to your satisfaction.

Which before were as Brass, and made your Earth as Iron, hard, barren, shall now drop down their Rain, and make the Earth fruitful. Much like that Psal. 72.3. Hos. 2.18.

By my special, singular providence, and blessing on them.

To enjoy, have the things, and the comfort of them, whereas before, though they eat, they were not satisfied, had not enough, Hag. 1.6.
