86. The same persons are meant by the he-goats in Zechariah:

Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I will visit the he-goats. Zech. x 3.

And in Ezekiel:

Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he-goats. Seemeth it a small thing unto you that ye have eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet also the residue of the pastures?.. . Ye thrust all the infirm sheep with your horns, until ye have dispersed them; therefore will I save My flock, that it may be no more a prey. Ezek. xxxiv 17, 18, 21, 22, and the following verses.
