- rams, and goats - The male sheep and goats are usually the strongest in the flock and can get whatever they want from the other animals in the flock.
- Is it a small thing - This is the beginning of a question that God uses to scold the stronger ones because they are unkind to weaker ones. (See: :en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_rquestion)

- trample down what is left of the pasture - AT: "walk all over the grass and ruin it"
- But my sheep are now being shepherded where you have trampled with your feet - "But my flock grazes on the pasture that you have trampled down with your feet"
- they are now drinking the waters that you have muddied with your feet - "they drink the water that you made dirty with your feet"
