עַל־הָֽרֹעִים חָרָה אַפִּי וְעַל־הָעַתּוּדִים אֶפְקוֹד כִּֽי־פָקַד יְהֹוָה צְבָאוֹת אֶת־עֶדְרוֹ אֶת־בֵּית יְהוּדָה וְשָׂם אוֹתָם כְּסוּס הוֹדוֹ בַּמִּלְחָמָֽה׃
My anger burns against the shepherds, and I will punish the goats: for the Lord of hosts has remembered his flock, the house of Yehuda, and makes them like the magnificent steed in the battle.

Rashi
ועל העתודים. על שריהם וכן ת"י ועל מלכיא הוה רוגזי ועל שלטניא אנא מסער ועכו"ם נמשלו לעתודי' והצפיר והשעיר מלך אנטיוכס (דניאל ח) והרוצ' לפרש הענין שלא במלכי עכו"ם יאמר העתודים לשון שרים כמו עורר לך רפאי' כל עתודי ארץ (ישעיה יד):
upon the goats Against their princes, and so did Jonathan render it: My wrath was against the kings and upon the rulers I visit. The Greeks were likened to goats in (Dan. 8:21), “And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece.” Whoever wishes to explain the matter [otherwise] (not as referring to the kings of Greece) will say that הָעַתּוּדִים is an expression of princes, as in (Isa. 14:9), “It aroused the giants for you, all the chiefs of the earth.”
כסוס הודו במלחמה. כסוס אשר יוכר הודו במלחמה:
as His majestic horse in battle As the horse whose majesty is recognized in battle.
מִמֶּנּוּ פִנָּה מִמֶּנּוּ יָתֵד מִמֶּנּוּ קֶשֶׁת מִלְחָמָה מִמֶּנּוּ יֵצֵא כׇל־נוֹגֵשׂ יַחְדָּֽו׃
Out of him shall come forth the cornerstone, out of him the stake, out of him the battle bow, out of him every ruler together.
Out of him shall come forth the cornerstone, out of him the stake, out of him the battle bow, out of him every ruler together.
Rashi
ממנו פנה. מהם מלכיהם מהם שריהם מהם לוחמי מלחמותם:
Out of them shall come the cornerstone Out of them shall come their kings; out of them shall come their princes, and out of them shall come those who wage their wars.
וְהָיוּ כְגִבֹּרִים בּוֹסִים בְּטִיט חוּצוֹת בַּמִּלְחָמָה וְנִלְחֲמוּ כִּי יְהֹוָה עִמָּם וְהֹבִישׁוּ רֹכְבֵי סוּסִֽים׃
And they shall be like mighty men, who tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
And they shall be like mighty men, who tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded.
Rashi
והיו כגבורים בוסים בטיט חוצות במלחמה. הרי מקרא זה מסורס והיו במלחמה הולכים ודורכים אנשים כגבורים הבוסים טיט חוצות. בוסים דורסים כמו יבוס קמינו (תהילים מ״ד:ו׳) בוססו את חלקתי (ירמיהו י״ב:י׳):
And they shall be like mighty men, treading the mire of the streets in battle This verse is inverted. It should be understood: And they shall be in battle, walking and treading people as mighty men tread the mire of the streets. treading as in (Ps. 60:14), “And He shall tread down our enemies,” and (Jer. 12:10) “They have trampled My field.”
והובישו. בית יהודה את רוכבי הסוסים הבאים להלחם בם:

וְגִבַּרְתִּי ׀ אֶת־בֵּית יְהוּדָה וְאֶת־בֵּית יוֹסֵף אוֹשִׁיעַ וְהֽוֹשְׁבוֹתִים כִּי רִֽחַמְתִּים וְהָיוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־זְנַחְתִּים כִּי אֲנִי יְהֹוָה אֱלֹהֵיהֶם וְאֶעֱנֵֽם׃
And I will strengthen the house of Yehuda, and I will save the house of Yosef, and I will bring them back again for I have had mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and will hear them.
