Context — The Doomed Flock
1Open your doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may consume your cedars!
2Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen; the majestic trees are ruined! Wail, O oaks of Bashan, for the dense forest has been cut down!
3Listen to the wailing of the shepherds, for their glory is in ruins. Listen to the roaring of the young lions, for the thickets of the Jordan are destroyed.
4This is what the LORD my God says: “Pasture the flock marked for slaughter, 5whose buyers slaughter them without remorse. Those who sell them say, ‘Blessed be the LORD, for I am rich!’ Even their own shepherds have no compassion on them.Cross References

Zechariah 11:3 Summary
[Zechariah 11:3 is a call to listen to the cries of those who are suffering, particularly the leaders who have failed to care for their people, and to recognize the destruction that has occurred as a result of their neglect, as seen in Ezekiel 34:1-10. Just as the shepherds are wailing because their glory is in ruins, we should mourn when we see leaders or systems that are supposed to care for people failing to do so. This verse reminds us that God is a God of justice and compassion, and He calls us to be the same, as seen in Micah 6:8, where we are told to do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with God.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 'wailing of the shepherds' in Zechariah 11:3 represent?
The wailing of the shepherds represents the sorrow and distress of leaders who have failed to care for their people, as seen in Ezekiel 34:1-10, where God condemns the shepherds of Israel for their negligence and self-interest.
Why are the 'thickets of the Jordan' significant in this verse?
The thickets of the Jordan represent a place of safety and refuge, similar to how God describes the Jordan River as a boundary and a place of separation in Joshua 1:1-4, and their destruction symbolizes the loss of protection and security for God's people.
What is the relationship between the shepherds and the young lions in this verse?
The shepherds and the young lions are presented as distinct groups, with the shepherds representing the leaders and the young lions possibly symbolizing the powerful or the oppressors, as seen in Psalm 35:17, where lions are used to describe those who seek to devour the righteous.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of God's judgment in Zechariah?
Zechariah 11:3 fits into the larger narrative of God's judgment on Israel and the nations, as seen in Zechariah 1:1-6, where God calls His people to return to Him and warns of judgment for those who refuse to listen.
Reflection Questions
- What are some ways that leaders or 'shepherds' in my life have failed to care for me or others, and how can I respond to their failures in a way that honors God?
- In what ways have I, like the shepherds, prioritized my own interests over the well-being of others, and what steps can I take to repent and change my behavior?
- How can I, as a follower of Christ, be a source of refuge and safety for those around me, just as the thickets of the Jordan were meant to be?
- What are some areas in my life where I feel like I am wandering without guidance or protection, and how can I cry out to God for help and direction, just as the young lions roar in this verse?
Gill's Exposition on Zechariah 11:3
[There is] a voice of the howling of the shepherds,.... Which may be understood either of the civil rulers among the Jews, who now lose their honour and their riches; and so the Targum, Jarchi, and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Zechariah 11:3
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.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Zechariah 11:3
There is; it is as certain as if present, as sure all these shall howl, as if the things for which they do howl were already acted. A voice of the howling, a most bitter, loud, passionate, and dismal howling, of the shepherds: literally thus; The enemy having broken in hath driven away or eaten up their flocks of sheep, their herds; and they, undone, howl most bitterly on the mountains, where the echo more doubles the horror than the noise. Or figuratively, shepherds are governors, magistrates, and civil officers, together with priests and prophets, who are over the people as shepherds over the flocks. For their glory is spoiled; what was their honour, their safety, their joy, is spoiled, taken from them and given to others. A voice of the roaring, the dismal outcries, of young lions; of men in authority among the Jews, who should have been shepherds to defend, but were as lions to tear and devour, and which lurked in Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judea, wheresoever they could lie in wait to tear the poor and weak. For the pride of Jordan is spoiled; the great forests on the banks of Jordan, called here the pride of Jordan, either because of the stately situation of them; or, because the prophet would keep the decorum of his allegory, he calls these the pride of Jordan, for that the young lions were wont to walk proudly, to range over it without fear. So did these men-lions securely prey in Jerusalem and its fellow cities; but these are cut down, and now they must no more range through to seek a prey: so all from the north to the east of the land of Canaan is represented as made a spoil.
Trapp's Commentary on Zechariah 11:3
Zechariah 11:3 [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.Ver. 3. There is a voice of the howling of the shepherds] Potentes potenter torquebuntur. "The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day," Isaiah 2:17. The shepherds were grown foolish, Zechariah 11:15, idol shepherds, Zechariah 11:17, they cared for no other instruments but forcipes et mulctram, the shears and the milk pail; they were become "greedy dogs, which could never have enough," Isaiah 56:11 (they were sick of the bulimy, or appetitus caninus a greedy dog), yea, they were so many young lions, ramping and ravening, as it is here and Ezekiel 19:2-3. Both princes and priests were turned tyrants, and instead of feeding the people in the integrity of their hearts, and guiding them with the skilfulness of their hands, Psalms 78:72, preyed upon them, and "plucked the skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones," Micah 3:2. For the pride of Jordan is spoiled] The swelling of Jordan dried up by the Romans, as Jerome interprets it; or, the proud and stately palaces and possessions that the great ones had gotten upon the banks of Jordan for fruitfulness and pleasance, as a Lapide; or the numerous and proud nation of the Jews likened to the yearly overflowing of Jordan, whereof see Joshua 3:15 Jeremiah 49:19, as Diodati.
Ellicott's Commentary on Zechariah 11:3
XI. (1-3) Here, as in Zechariah 9:1-8, we have intimation of an invasion of the land of Israel from the north, only, whereas in the former case Philistia, as well as Syria and Phœnicia, was to be the sufferer, here it is “the pride of Jordan that is to be spoiled.” Some have considered the first three verses of this chapter to be a distinct prophecy by themselves. To this supposition no valid objection can be made. But the terms of the prophecy are so vague that it is impossible to decide with any degree of satisfaction to what particular invasion it refers. It might be descriptive of any invasion which took place from the north, whether Assyrian, Babylonian, Greek, or Roman. Others take these verses as introductory to the prophecy that follows, and consider them to be descriptive either of a storm breaking over the country (comp. Psalms 29 and, with some, Isaiah 2:10-22) from the north, or else of some terrible visitation which would come upon the land, similar to the invasions which had taken place in the days of old. In any case, these verses have so little necessary connection with what follows, that it will make little difference to our interpretation of the remainder of the chapter which of the above theories we adopt. (Compare for similar expressions, Isaiah 37:24; Isaiah 14:8; Jeremiah 25:34-36.)
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Zechariah 11:3
Verse 3. Young lions] Princes and rulers. By shepherds, kings or priests may be intended.
Cambridge Bible on Zechariah 11:3
3. There is a voice] More literally and forcibly, A voice of the howling of the shepherds! R. V. the shepherds] Here again the figurative reference appears through the literal, Comp. Zechariah 10:3, and Zechariah 11:5 below. But the literal reference holds good. “The desolating storm sweeps from the highlands to the lowlands. The very shepherds are forced to howl, because their splendour is laid waste, namely, the pasture lands, in which they were wont to tend and feed their flocks in the days of peace and quiet. The conflagration extends even to the south of the land. Judah is wrapped in flames. The close thickets which fringed the Jordan river as it ran along through the territory of the southern kingdom are consumed by the fire.… ‘The pride of Jordan’ is rendered desolate, and hence the voice of the roaring of lions is heard wailing over the general ruin.” Wright. young lions] Comp.
Jeremiah 25:36-38; Jeremiah 49:19. Zechariah 11:4-14. The rejection by them of Jehovah’s shepherd is the cause of the calamity which is to fall upon them. “Subjicit rationem cur Deus tam severe agere cogitet cum populo suo, quoniam insanabilis sit eorum malitia.” Rosenm.
Barnes' Notes on Zechariah 11:3
A voice of the howling of the shepherds, for their glory is spoiled - It echoes on from Jeremiah before the captivity, “Howl, ye shepherds - A voice of the cry of the shepherds.
Whedon's Commentary on Zechariah 11:3
OF THE ENEMIES, Zechariah 11:1-3.These verses do not form an independent piece, nor are they to be connected with Zechariah 11:4 ff., for the opening words of Zec 11:4 show that there a new prophecy begins.
