What does Zechariah 13:7 mean?

Wake up, sword, against my shepherd, against the man who is close to me, says the Lord of all. Strike the shepherd, and the sheep will scatter, and I’ll turn my hand against the little ones. Zechariah 13:7 - Modern Text Bible

(God announces that His chosen leader will be struck down, and as a result, the people will be scattered and vulnerable.)
