86. The goats mentioned in Zechariah have the same meaning:

My wrath blazes against the shepherds, and I will execute judgment upon the goats. (Zechariah 10:3)

Likewise, the goats mentioned in Ezekiel:

Behold, I am judging between one flock animal and another, between rams and goats. Is it too little for you to have eaten up the good pasture? Will you also trample what remains of the food with your feet? You attack all the weak sheep with your horns until you have scattered them. Therefore I will save my flock, so that it will no longer be prey. (Ezekiel 34:17, 18, 21, and following)
