Barnes's Zechariah 8:11 Bible Commentary
And now - The words imply a contrast of God's dealings, rather than a contrast of time. "I am not to the remnant of this people." He had said, "I will be to them God;" so now He does not say that He will not do to them, "as in former days," but "I am not to the remnant" of this people as heretofore. He would be, as tie was in Jesus, in a new relation to them.
Wesley's Zechariah 8:11 Bible Commentary
8:11 I will not be - That is, I will not deal with them as in former days.
