10 Так говорит Господь Бог: вот, Я – на пастырей, и взыщу овец Моих от руки их, и не дам им более пасти овец, и не будут более пастыри пасти самих себя, и исторгнуовец Моих из челюстей их, и не будут они пищею их.

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.
