Zechariah 11:17
11:17 Woe to the worthless shepherd
who abandons the flock!
May a sword fall on his arm and his right eye!
May his arm wither completely away,
and his right eye become completely blind!”
Zechariah 10:5
10:5 And they will be like warriors trampling the mud of the streets in battle. They will fight, for the
Lord will be with them, and will defeat the enemy cavalry.

Zechariah 10:11
10:11 The
Lord 2 will cross the sea of storms and will calm its turbulence. The depths of the Nile will dry up, the pride of Assyria will be humbled, and the domination
3 of Egypt will be no more.
1 tn Heb “and the riders on horses will be put to shame,” figurative for the defeat of mounted troops. The word “enemy” in the translation is supplied from context.
1 tn Heb “he,” in which case the referent is the Lord. This reading is followed by KJV, ASV, NAB (which renders it as first person), and NASB. The LXX reads “they,” referring to the Israelites themselves, a reading followed by many modern English versions (e.g., NIV, NRSV, TEV, NLT).
2 tn Heb “scepter,” referring by metonymy to the dominating rule of Egypt (cf. NLT).
