Zechariah 11:7

"For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land,” says the LORD; “but, behold, I will deliver every one of the men into his neighbor’s hand and into the hand of his king. They will strike the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them.”"

Key Reflection

In Zechariah 11:7, the Lord宣告不再怜悯以色列人，而是将他们交给邻国和王的手中。这并不是说神失去了对祂子民的情感，而是在警告一个即将到来的时代，即审判将临。这种情境反映了当时的历史背景，特别是犹大王国末期，外邦势力频繁入侵，以色列人被异族统治的情况。这一预言预示了以色列人将经历苦难和流离失所，同时也预示了最终神会在适当的时候介入拯救祂的子民。

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The prophetic narrative which follows, differs in its form, in some respects, from the symbolical actions of the prophets and from Zechariah’s own visions. The symbolical actions of the prophets are actions of their own: this involves acts, which it would be impossible to represent, except as a sort of drama. Such are the very central points, the feeding of the flock, which are still intelligent people who understand God’s doings: the cutting off of the three shepherds; the asking for the price; the unworthy price offered; the casting it aside.
