My anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the (d) goats: for the LORD of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as (e) his majestic horse in the battle.
(d) Meaning, the cruel governors who did oppress the poor sheep; (Ezekiel 34:16-17).
(e) He will be merciful to his Church, and cherish them as a king or prince does his best horse, which will be for his own use in war.
