And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, etc.] Or, “and flight shall perish from the shepherds”f527; though they may attempt it, they shall not be able to accomplish it; neither the dignity of their persons, the greatness of their power, or the abundance of their riches, would make a way for them; their enemies being so numerous, powerful, and watchful: nor the principal of the flock to escape; this was particularly verified in Zedekiah and his princes, (<243904>Jeremiah 39:4-6). The Targum is, “and the house of fugitives shall perish from the kings, and deliverance from the mighty of the people.”
