Zechariah 8:10

Context
8:10 Before that time there was no compensation for man or animal, nor was there any relief from adversity for those who came and went, because I had pitted everybody – each one – against everyone else.

Zechariah 10:1

Context
The Restoration of the True People

10:1 Ask the Lord for rain in the season of the late spring rains 1  – the Lord who causes thunderstorms – and he will give everyone showers of rain and green growth in the field.

1 tn Heb “the latter rain.” This expression refers to the last concentration of heavy rainfall in the spring of the year in Palestine, about March or April. Metaphorically and eschatologically (as here) the “latter rain” speaks of God’s outpouring of blessing in the end times (cf. Hos 6:3; Joel 2:21-25).
