Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 11:9

"Then said I, I will not feed you: that which dieth, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let them that are left eat every one the flesh of another."Here is detailed the attitude that Mitchell and other critics consider to be impossible in God; but when all else fails, God throughout human history has destroyed the incorrigibly wicked. The first great example of it was the deluge that swept over the ancient world. The whole theology of judicial hardening is little... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Zechariah 11:10

"And I cut my staff Beauty, and cut it asunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the peoples."This symbolical breaking of the staff Beauty indicated that God would terminate finally and irrevocably the covenant with Israel. "All the peoples" here probably indicates, as suggested by Higginson, that it means, "The northern and southern kingdoms, Israel in toto."[27] Of course, there is another sense in which the covenant with Abraham was designed to "bless all the families... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Zechariah 11:9-10

Zechariah 11:9-10. Then said I, &c.— These are the words of the Messiah to the priests of his time, whom he quickly forsook, and broke his staff of loveliness or delight, being no longer inclined to spare them, nor to restrain the people from oppressing the Jewish nation, as he had before restrained them by that covenant which he had made with the neighbouring nations. That decree of God, by which he had hindered the nations from oppressing and destroying the little commonwealth of the... read more

9. Then said I—at last when all means of saving the nation had been used in vain ( :-). I will not—that is, no more feed you. The last rejection of the Jews is foretold, of which the former under Nebuchadnezzar, similarly described, was the type (Jeremiah 15:1-3; Jeremiah 34:17; Jeremiah 43:11; Ezekiel 6:12). Perish those who are doomed to perish, since they reject Him who would have saved them! Let them rush on to their own ruin, since they will have it so. eat . . . flesh of another—Let them... read more

10. covenant which I made with all the people—The covenant made with the whole nation is to hold good no more except to the elect remnant. This is the force of the clause, not as MAURER, and others translate. The covenant which I made with all the nations (not to hurt My elect people, :-). But the Hebrew is the term for the elect people (Ammim), not that for the Gentile nations (Goiim). The Hebrew plural expresses the great numbers of the Israelite people formerly (1 Kings 4:20). The article... read more

The fate of the Good Shepherd 11:4-14The reason for the devastation of the people and the land just described now becomes apparent. It is the people’s rejection of the messianic Shepherd-King (cf. Isaiah 42; Isaiah 49; Isaiah 50; Isaiah 53). The Lord would graciously give His people another good leader (Zechariah 11:4-6), but they would reject the good shepherd that He would provide for them (Zechariah 11:7-14). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Zechariah 11:9

Zechariah, as God’s representative, turned "them" over to their fate though that meant that some of them would die, suffer annihilation, and devour one another. The Jews did eat one another during the siege of Jerusalem in the first century A.D. [Note: Josephus, The Wars of the Jews, 6:3:3-4.] And they will evidently do so again during the Tribulation."By withholding his leadership the shepherd abandoned the people to the consequences of their rejection of him: death, and mutual destruction. He... read more

Zechariah then chopped his staff "Favor" into pieces picturing the end of the favorable pastoral care that he had provided. The covenant in view is none of the biblical covenants since God never breaks His promises. It must refer to the security that He had been providing and the restraint that He had been exercising in relation to Israel thus far."The term ’covenant’ is here used in a looser sense, not as descriptive of a formal agreement entered into by contracting parties, but to indicate... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Zechariah 11:1-17

The Parable of the ShepherdsThe perplexing nature of the prophecies in this chapter renders exposition difficult, especially as we cannot be sure of the circumstances. Apparently, however, the passage deals with misrule in Jerusalem, either of worthless high priests, or of cruel foreign rulers, or of both, who are spoken of as shepherds: see Intro.1-3. Another storm of war bursts apparently over northern Israel. 4-14. The people reject their good ruler, and the prophet acts the part of a good... read more
