Zechariah 11:3 - Forerunner Commentary

Zechariah 11:3

Desolation of Israel

1 Open ^ayour doors, O Lebanon,
That fire may devour your cedars.

2 Wail, O cypress, for the ^acedar has fallen,
Because the mighty trees are ruined.
Wail, O oaks of Bashan,
^bFor the thick forest has come down.

3 There is the sound of wailing ^ashepherds!
For the¹ir glory is in ruins.
There is the sound of roaring lions!
For the pride of the Jordan is in ruins.

Prophecy of the Shepherds

4 Thus says the Lord my God, “Feed the flock for slaughter,

5 whose owners slaughter them and ^afeel no guilt; those who sell them ^bsay, ‘Blessed be the Lord, for I am rich’; and their shepherds do ^cnot pity them.
