Zechariah 10:3
_ _ against the shepherds — the civil rulers of Israel and Judah who abetted idolatry.
_ _ punished — literally, “visited upon.” The same word “visited,” without the upon, is presently after used in a good sense to heighten the contrast.
_ _ goats — he-goats. As “shepherds” described what they ought to have been, so “he-goats” describes what they were, the emblem of headstrong wantonness and offensive lust (Isaiah 14:9, Margin; Ezekiel 34:17; Daniel 8:5; Matthew 25:33). The he-goats head the flock. They who are first in crime will be first in punishment.
_ _ visited — in mercy (Luke 1:68).
_ _ as his goodly horse — In Zechariah 9:13 they were represented under the image of bows and arrows, here under that of their commander-in-chief, Jehovah’s battle horse (Song of Songs 1:9). God can make His people, timid though they be as sheep, courageous as the charger. The general rode on the most beautiful and richly caparisoned, and had his horse tended with the greatest care. Jehovah might cast off the Jews for their vileness, but He regards His election or adoption of them: whence He calls them here “His flock,” and therefore saves them. |
Zechariah 10:3
The shepherds — Officers in the church and state. The goats — The officers among them, who were like he — goats, that push, and wound, and trample under foot the feebler cattle. Visited — In mercy. As his goodly horse — Hath given them strength and courage. |
Zechariah 10:3
My anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the (d) goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as (e) his majestic horse in the battle.
(d) Meaning, the cruel governors who did oppress the poor sheep; (Ezekiel 34:16-17).
(e) He will be merciful to his Church, and cherish them as a king or prince does his best horse, which will be for his own use in war. |
