Zechariah9:17
17 For how great is his goodness, , and how great is his beauty ? corn shall make the young men cheerful , and new wine the maids .
Infinite Goodness is the fountain of all that good done for this people, the Prophet admires it, and suggests what is fit to be done by those that come and view those stones set up for Trophies.
How wonderful the beauty of Divine Providence in all the great effects of it in Israels deliverance and salvation.
Plentiful Harvests shall make the young men cheerful in sowing, reaping, labouring in Harvest work, as well as in eating the Fruits thereof.
Such plenty of Wine, that all young and old shall be cheared with it. And now these are the sweet Fruits of Temporal Salvation, but the Fruits of Spiritual shadowed out by these, are much more glorious, refreshing, and worth our praise and wonder.
Marginal references: Or, grow, or, speak.
