这是什么意思？

This verse from Zechariah says that God will no longer pity the people of the land and will let them fall into each other's hands, and into the hand of their king, where they will suffer without being rescued by God.

儿童解释

Imagine a playground where kids used to look out for each other. Now, one day, a teacher says no one is going to help if you get into trouble. Instead, the bigger kids might take things from the smaller ones or make them cry, and there won't be anyone stopping that.

历史背景

Zechariah was a prophet who spoke around 520-518 BCE when the Israelites were returning to Jerusalem after their Babylonian exile. This verse reflects the judgment of God upon those who have not repented despite previous warnings and opportunities for redemption.
