‏ Zechariah 4:10

Verse 10. Who hath despised the day of small things?] The poverty, weakness, and unbefriended state of the Jews. It was said, "What do these feeble Jews?" "Will they build," &c.? No. But God will build by them, and perfect his building too.

And shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel] He is master builder under God, the grand architect.

Those seven-are the eyes of the Lord] Either referring to his particular and especial providence; or to those ministering spirits, whom he has employed in behalf of the Jews, to dispense the blessings of that providence. See the reading in the margin.
