Zacarías 11:2

Listen to Zacarías 11:2
2 Lloren, ustedes cipreses, por todos los cedros arruinados;
han caído los más majestuosos.
Lloren, ustedes robles de Basán,
porque los tupidos bosques han sido talados.

Zacarías 11:2 Meaning and Commentary

Zechariah 11:2

Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen
By which are designed the princes, nobles, and magistrates of the land: so the Targum interprets them of kings and princes; see ( Nahum 2:3 ) ( Ezekiel 31:3 ) : because all the mighty are spoiled;
which is an explanation of the figurative expressions in the former clause, and in the following; and designs rich men, as the Targum paraphrases it, who at this time would be spoiled of their wealth and substance. Howl, O ye oaks of Bashan;
which the Targum interprets of governors of provinces; and men of power and authority are doubtless intended; see ( Isaiah 2:13 ) ( Amos 2:9 ) : for the forest of the vintage is come down;
or rather, "the fortified forest"; meaning the city of Jerusalem, which was a fortified place, and like a forest full of trees, for number of inhabitants, but now cut down and destroyed; see ( Isaiah 10:16-19 ) .

Zacarías 11:2 In-Context

1 Líbano, abre tus puertas,
para que el fuego pueda devorar tus bosques de cedro.
2 Lloren, ustedes cipreses, por todos los cedros arruinados;
han caído los más majestuosos.
Lloren, ustedes robles de Basán,
porque los tupidos bosques han sido talados.
3 Escuchen el gemido de los pastores
porque se destruyeron sus abundantes pastizales.
Oigan rugir a los leones jóvenes
porque se arruinaron sus matorrales en el valle del Jordán.
4 Buenos y malos pastores
El Señor
mi Dios dice: «Ve y cuida del rebaño que está destinado para el matadero.
5 Los compradores matan a las ovejas sin remordimiento. Los vendedores dicen: “¡Gloria al Señor
! ¡Ahora soy rico!”. Ni siquiera los pastores tienen compasión de las ovejas.
