A Brief Exposition of New Church Doctrine #86
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.
Ezekiel 34:17-18
17
As for you, O my flock, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.
18
Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but you must foul the residue with your feet?
