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. Zechariah 10:3.

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. Ezekiel 34:17-18, 21-22, and the following verses.

“The eyes are the windows of the soul.” That's a sentiment with roots somewhere in murky antiquity, but one that has become hopelessly cliché because it is both poetic and obviously true. We feel that if we can look in someone's eyes, we can truly know what they are inside. And it's not just the eyes; really it is the face as a whole that conveys this. As Swedenborg puts it, the face is “man's spiritual world presented in his natural world” (Heaven and Hell, No. 91). Our faces reveal our interior thoughts and feelings in myriad ways, which is why psychologists, poker players and criminal investigators spend so much time studying them. It makes sense, then, that people's faces in the Bible represent their interiors, the thoughts, loves and desires they hold most deeply. We turn our faces to the ground to show humility when we bow in worship; we turn them to the mountains when seeking inspiration; we turn them toward our enemies when we are ready to battle temptation. When things are hard, we need to “face facts,” or accept them internally. When the topic is the Lord's face, it represents the Lord's interiors, which are perfect love and perfect mercy. And when people turn away from the Lord and refuse his love, it is described as the Lord “hiding his face.”
