Scripture focus

For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because [there was] no shepherd.

Commentary

Commentary on Zechariah 10:2

Theological / Devotional

Idols. Heb. teraphim, household gods usually in the form of small human figurines (see on Gen. 31:19).

Vanity. Futile, utterly worthless responses.

Diviners. Those who pretended to reveal the will of the gods (see Jer. 29:8).

Went their way. Confidence in these deceivers caused the Israelites to be led into captivity.

No shepherd. Probably a reference to their having no king to lead and protect them (see Hosea 3:4).
