Dan hai kamu domba-domba-Ku, beginilah firman Tuhan ALLAH: Sungguh, Aku akan menjadi hakim di antara domba dengan domba, dan di antara domba jantan dan kambing jantan.
Tetapi akan kamu, hai segala kambing-Ku! demikianlah firman Tuhan Hua, sesungguhnya Aku akan memutuskan hukum antara kambing dengan domba dan antara domba jantan dengan kambing jantan.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord God,.... Having done with the shepherds, and the complaint against them, the Lord proceeds to take notice of the flock, or the people themselves, and the evils that were among them; for in the Lord's own flock, in the nation and church of Israel, as now in the visible congregated churches of Christ, there were two sorts of persons, some good, others bad; some that behaved well, and others ill; some were sheep, and others goats:
behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, between the rams and the he goats: between the smaller and weaker cattle, the sheep and the lambs; and the larger and stronger cattle, the rams and he goats; by which latter may he meant persons of superior power and authority, of greater wealth and riches, and of more wisdom and knowledge, at least in their own conceits; and who were oppressive and injurious to the poor and common people, and less knowing, at least as they thought; who may be intended by the former: now, the Lord, as he observed a difference between them, he would make this manifest, and take the part of the one against the other; even the part of the weaker against the stronger. The Targum is,
"behold, judge between man and man, sinners and the ungodly.''
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Ezekiel 34:17. And as for you, O my flock — After having spoken to the shepherds, he now addresses the flock.
I judge between cattle and cattle — Between false and true professors; between them that have only the form and them that have the power of godliness; between the backslider in heart and the upright man.
