Zechariah 11:8. Three shepherds also I cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me.
There is a mutual loathing between God and ungodly men. They, to whom Christ came, were of this character; they loathed him. and he could not endure them. See how he cried to them, "Woe unto you, Scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites; woe unto you teachers of the law." There was a solemn division between them, and the people themselves called after their shepherds, and we are like them, so that they took up stones again to stone him, and he, with many tears, was forced to pronounce woe upon them.
