“Before those days,
There were no wages
For people.
There were no wages
For animals.
There was no safety
From the foe
For those who went out
Or came in.
I set them all
Against one another.”
Yahweh, via Zechariah, explained their terrible situation. There were no wages for humans or animals, since they were not compensated for their work. No one was safe coming or going out of their homes. Yahweh had set them all against each other.
