Zechariah 11:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Zechariah 11:16

14 Then I cut in two my other staff,¹ Bonds, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

15 And the Lord said to me, ^a“Next, take for yourself the implements of a foolish shepherd.

16 For indeed I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for those who are cut off, nor seek the young, nor heal those that are broken, nor feed those that still stand. But he will eat the flesh of the fat and tear their hooves in ^apieces.

17 “Woe^a to the worthless shepherd,
Who leaves the flock!
A sword shall be against his arm
And against his right eye;
His arm shall completely wither,
And his right eye shall be totally blinded.”
