Haydock's commentary
On verses 4 to 5
Pastors; Zorobabel, &c., as figures of Christ, and of the pastors of his Church.
No more, as much as formerly. So many expressions must be understood.
Branch. Septuagint, "orient."
Reign. Zorobabel was not chief governor, (Calmet) though at the head of his tribe. (Haydock)
The kingdom of Christ was not of this world, John xviii. 36. (Calmet)
He alone imparts justice to others. (Worthington)
