86. The like are meant by "he-goats" in Zechariah:

Mine anger was kindled against the shepherd, and I will visit the he-goats (10:3). And in Ezekiel:

Ye thrust all the infirm sheep with your horns, until ye have dispersed them; therefore will I save My flock, that it will be no more a prey (34:17, 18, 22 seq.).
