Zacarias 11:6

Listen to Zacarias 11:6
6 Certamente não terei mais piedade dos moradores desta terra, diz o Senhor; mas, eis que entregarei os homens cada um na mão do seu próximo e na mão do seu rei; eles ferirão a terra, e eu não os livrarei da mão deles.

Zacarias 11:6 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 11:6

For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith
the Lord
Or spare them; but cause his wrath to come upon them to the uttermost, as it did at the time of Jerusalem's destruction by the Romans; but, lo, I will deliver the men everyone into his neighbour's
hand;
this seems to refer to the factions and divisions among themselves during the siege of Jerusalem, when multitudes fell into the hands of the zealots, and heads of parties, and perished by them: and into the hand of his king;
Vespasian the Roman emperor; the Jews having declared, long before this time, that they had no king but Caesar, ( John 19:15 ) and now into his hands they were delivered up: and they shall smite the land;
that is, the Romans shall lay waste the land of Judea: and out of their hand I will not deliver [them];
as formerly out of the hands of their neighbours, the Philistines, Ammonites and out of the captivity of Babylon. It denotes that their destruction would be an utter one; nor have they been delivered yet, though it has been over 1900 years ago.

Zacarias 11:6 In-Context

4 Assim diz o Senhor meu Deus: Apascenta as ovelhas destinadas para a matança,
5 cujos compradores as matam, e não se têm por culpados; e cujos vendedores dizem: Louvado seja o Senhor, porque hei enriquecido; e os seus pastores não têm piedade delas.
6 Certamente não terei mais piedade dos moradores desta terra, diz o Senhor; mas, eis que entregarei os homens cada um na mão do seu próximo e na mão do seu rei; eles ferirão a terra, e eu não os livrarei da mão deles.
7 Eu pois apascentei as ovelhas destinadas para a matança, as pobres ovelhas do rebanho. E tomei para mim duas varas: a uma chamei Graça, e � outra chamei União; e apascentei as ovelhas.
8 E destruí os três pastores num mês; porque me enfadei deles, e também eles se enfastiaram de mim.
