Zechariah 11:1-3

Verses 1-3

RESTORATION OF THE JEWS AND OVERTHROW OF THE HOSTILE NATIONS, Zechariah 10:3 to Zechariah 11:3.

When the Jews came into the power of hostile nations (Zechariah 10:2) they were governed by bad shepherds, that is, by cruel foreign rulers. But a change is about to take place; Jehovah will cut off the bad shepherds and deliver the oppressed flock (3). Judah and Ephraim will be transformed into mighty men (4-7), and Jehovah will bring them back from Assyria and Egypt to dwell in their own land (8-12), where they may rejoice over the wonderful deliverance, while the hostile powers wail and lament over their own complete undoing (Zechariah 11:1-3).
