Vers. 5.
Speake vnto all the people of the land, and to the Priests, and say, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth, & seuen moneth, euen these seuentie yeares, did ye fast vnto me? doe I approue it?
THe summe of the answere of GOD, the which containeth two things. First, that God was not delighted with the fasts of them∣selues, either of the fifth moneth, or of that other of the seuenth mo∣neth, ordained by them also for the death of Godolia, 2. King. 25. albeit they had obserued them a great space, and long season so∣lemnely, and yearely. And this answere is indeed made vnto the whole people, but yet notwithstanding by the Priests, vnto whom especially God doth direct the Prophet, because it is their office to teach the people: and it is the office of the Priests to be taught of God, either ordinarilie, or extraordinarilie, as it is here done by Za∣charias. And the Prophet expresly maketh mention of the seuentie yeares, those namely, wherein the people was in banishment and captiuitie in Babylon, because that all that whole time especially the Iewes had kept those their extraordinarie fasts straitly, & hard∣ly. Finally, the repeating of the word (me) hath an Emphasis or ve∣hemencie and force in it, the which sheweth that before God the abasing of these outward things is the greater, yea, and a thing vn∣pleasant vnto God, vnlesse that true godlines or charitie and loue of minde doe goe before.
