Zechariah is a book of prophecies of a contemporary of Haggai. Zechariah urges the people to rebuild the Temple for he too believes in the imminent coming of the messianic kingdom. Both Zechariah and Haggai are concerned with the messianic hope and establishing Judah’s role in the fulfillment of that glorious hope.

Zechariah 11

11:6 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.
