Za 11, 1-17

1 Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars. 2 Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down. 3 There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled. 4 Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter; 5 Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not. 6 For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them. 7 And I will feed the flock of slaughter, even you, O poor of the flock. And I took unto me two staves; the one I called Beauty, and the other I called Bands; and I fed the flock. 8 Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul lothed them, and their soul also abhorred me. 9 Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another. 10 And I took my staff, even Beauty, and cut it assunder, that I might break my covenant which I had made with all the people. 11 And it was broken in that day: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it was the word of the LORD. 12 And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. 13 And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD. 14 Then I cut asunder mine other staff, even Bands, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. 15 And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. 16 For, lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land, which shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces. 17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

Verš 17

Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

Jer 23:1 - Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.

Ez 34:2 - Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

Jn 10:12 - But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

Verš 12

And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver.

Mt 26:15 - And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

Mt 27:9 - Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value;

Zach 11,1-3 - Cédre, duby a levíčatá zvýrazňujú pyšných veľmožov krajiny. O Bášane a jeho duboch pozri pozn. k Iz 2,13.

Zach 11,4-6 - Stádo zvýrazňuje prorokov národ a volá sa stádom na porážku preto, lebo ho vlastní vodcovia nivočia. Vodcovia sa tu volajú majiteľmi, kupcami, pastiermi. Pretože títo nemali zľutovania nad stádom, ani Boh sa nezľutuje nad nimi.

Zach 11,7 - Pastierom vyvoleného národa bol sám Boh a prorok svojím správaním len zvýrazňuje, ako sa Boh staral o svoje stádo. Prorok sa ujíma pastierskeho úradu, aby ochránil stádo od tých, čo ho ničia. Palica, ktorú nazval Vľúdnosť, predstavuje priazeň, ktorou Boh viedol svoj ľud; druhá, zvaná Puto, zasa Božiu starostlivosť o to, aby stádo zostalo jednotné a nerozpŕchlo sa.

Zach 11,8 - Odstránil nesvedomitých vodcov, ktorí sa vo verši 5 spomínajú menami "majitelia, kupci a pastieri"; ale stádo bolo tiež spoluvinné s pastiermi, preto ho Boh opustil.

Zach 11,10 - Zmluvu s národmi, aby neškodili Izraelu, uzavrel Boh, ktorého prorok v symbolickom úkone zvýrazňuje.

Zach 11,11 - Tí z národa, čo si všímali Pána, uznali, že nešťastia, ktoré národ stíhajú, sú Božím trestom.

Zach 11,12 - Pastier dáva výpoveď.

Zach 11,13 - Tridsať strieborných bola cena otroka (Ex 21,32). Pre takého pastiera, akým bol Pán, a za toľké dobrodenia, ktoré národu preukázal, je to naozaj posmešne "nádherná mzda". Pán sám prehlasuje, že touto mzdou nie proroka ocenil národ, ale Boha. Tvorcom sa vo Svätom písme často volá Boh. Ale slovo "tvorca" znamená aj hrnčiara, ktorý z hliny tvorí nádoby. V tomto zmysle sa proroctvo splnilo, keď za 30 strieborných, za ktoré Judáš zradil Spasiteľa, kúpili Hrnčiarovo pole. O poli Zachariáš nehovorí, o tom písal prorok Jeremiáš (Jer 32). Sv. Matúš (27,5-10) uvádza obidve tieto proroctvá, ale po mene spomína len Jeremiáša.

Zach 11,15 - Druhý raz má prorok zvýrazňovať pastiera hlúpeho, bezbožného. Takýmito boli vodcovia, ktorí zavinili úplnú záhubu národa. K výrazom porov. Ez 34,2-8. Zlý pastier pozráža ovciam paprčky, lebo ich bude bezohľadne vodiť po zlých cestách.
