SEV Biblia, Chapter 9:17 Porque ¡cuánta es su bondad, y cuánta su hermosura! El trigo alegrará a los jóvenes, y el vino a las doncellas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Zechariah 9:17 Verse 17. How great is his goodness] In himself and towards them. And how great is his beauty!] His comeliness, holiness, and purity, put in and upon them. Corn shall make the young men cheerful] They shall be gladdened and strengthened by plenty of food; and they shall speak aloud of God's mercies in their harvest home. And new wine the maids.] Who shall prepare the wine from an abundant vintage.
John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 17. For how great [is] his goodness ? etc.] Not of the land of Judea, as Kimchi; nor of the doctrine of the law, as the Targum; nor of the people of the Jews; but of the Messiah: and designs not his essential nor his providential goodness; but his goodness as Mediator, which he has in his heart, and has shown unto his people, in being their surety, and becoming their Saviour; in assuming their nature; bearing their sins, and obeying and suffering in their room and stead: and also that which he has in his hands for them, and communicates to them; his fulness of grace; all those spiritual blessings that are in him; the large measures of grace given at conversion; and the numerous instances of his goodness afterwards; yea, it includes glory, as well as grace: and how great [is] his beauty ? not as God, nor as man, but as Mediator; as beheld in the covenant and promises; in the Gospel and in the truths and in the ordinances of it: corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids ; by “young men” are meant the same as in ( 1 John 2:14) believers in Christ, who are lively, warm, and zealous for Christ, his cause and interest; who are active, diligent, and industrious in the discharge of duty; and are strong in Christ, and in his grace; and particularly in the grace of faith, and quit themselves like men: and by “maids” or “virgins” are meant the same; so called because of their chaste adherence to Christ; for their beauty, comeliness, and attire; and for their purity of divine worship and conversation: and the Gospel is intended by “corn” and “new wine”; which is compared to “corn”, in opposition to the chaff of human doctrines; and because it contains Christ the bread of life, and is nourishing and comfortable: and to “new wine”, not because it is a novel doctrine, for it is the everlasting Gospel ordained before the world was; but because, under the Gospel dispensation, to which this prophecy refers, it is newly and more clearly revealed; (see Gill on “ Zechariah 9:15”). The effect of which is, that it makes saints “cheerful”, fills them with joy and spiritual mirth; for it is a joyful sound: or, “shall make fruitful” f221 ; it causes them to grow and increase, and makes them fruitful in every good word and work: or, “shall make them speak” eloquently f222 ; or cause them to put forth the fruit of their lips, in giving thanks to God for the abundance of grace bestowed upon them: or, “shall” make “them sing” f223 , as others; in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. This new wine may be interpreted of the gifts and graces bestowed in great plenty on the day of Pentecost, both on sons and daughters, on servants and handmaids, whereby they prophesied, and saw visions, ( Acts 2:16,17) (see Ephesians 5:18,19).
Matthew Henry Commentary Verses 9-17 - The prophet breaks forth into a joyful representation of the coming of the Messiah, of whom the ancient Jews explained this prophecy. He too the character of their King, when he entered Jerusalem amidst the hosannas of the multitude. But his kingdom is a spiritual kingdom. It shall not be advanced by outward force or carnal weapons. His gospe shall be preached to the world, and be received among the heathen. sinful state is a state of bondage; it is a pit, or dungeon, in whic there is no water, no comfort; and we are all by nature prisoners in this pit. Through the precious blood of Christ, many prisoners of Sata have been set at liberty from the horrible pit in which they mus otherwise have perished, without hope or comfort. While we admire Him let us seek that his holiness and truth may be shown in our own spirit and conduct. These promises have accomplishment in the spiritual blessings of the gospel which we enjoy by Jesus Christ. As the deliverance of the Jews was typical of redemption by Christ, so thi invitation speaks to all the language of the gospel call. Sinners ar prisoners, but prisoners of hope; their case is sad, but not desperate for there is hope in Israel concerning them. Christ is a Strong-hold, strong Tower, in whom believers are safe from the fear of the wrath of God, the curse of the law, and the assaults of spiritual enemies. To him we must turn with lively faith; to him we must flee, and trust in his name under all trials and sufferings. It is here promised that the Lord would deliver his people. This passage also refers to the apostles, and the preachers of the gospel in the early ages. God wa evidently with them; his words from their lips pierced the hearts an consciences of the hearers. They were wondrously defended in persecution, and were filled with the influences of the Holy Spirit They were saved by the Good Shepherd as his flock, and honoured a jewels of his crown. The gifts, graces, and consolations of the Spirit poured forth on the day of Pentecost, Ac 2 and in succeeding times, ar represented. Sharp have been, and still will be, the conflicts of Zion's sons, but their God will give them success. The more we ar employed, and satisfied with his goodness, the more we shall admire the beauty revealed in the Redeemer. Whatever gifts God bestows on us, we must serve him cheerfully with them; and, when refreshed with blessings, we must say, How great is his goodness __________________________________________________________________
