Zechariah11:4
4 Thus saith the LORD my God , Feed the flock of the slaughter .
God the Father.
O Zechariah, feed, comfort, rule; but rather the Father speaks to Christ the Son, and appoints him who is the eternal Shepherd to feed his Sheep.
Appointed to the slaughter by different hands, and for different causes. It speaks of the people of the Jews who were killed by many hands, during 450 years they were a flock of slaughter to the Egyptians, Chaldeans &c afterward to the Romans, who ruined their Common-Wealth, slew their Citizens, and burnt their City.
