Present And Future

Ἀγνοεῖς μὲν τὴν ἀνταπόδοσιν, ὡς ἀβλεπτῶν πρὸς τὰ μέλλοντα. Οὐ μόνον δὲ ἐν τῷ μέλλονται κριτηρίῳ, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἐν τῷ παρόντι βίῳ τίνουσι δίκας οἱ βάσκανοι. Καὶ πειθέτο σε ἡ τοῦ Ἀχαὰβ Ἰεζάβελ, ἐπιμανεῖσα τῷ τοῦ Ναβουθὰ ἀμπελῶνι, καὶ νῦν μὲν βορὰ κυσὶ γενομένη, μετὰ ταῦτα δὲ τῷ αἰωνίῳ τηρουμένη. Ἅγιος Ἰσιδορου Του Πηλουσιωτου, Βιβλίον Πρῶτον, Ἐπιστολή ΣΛΖ', Ἡρμοκιανῳ

You do not know what you shall be given, so blind to the future. But not only in the future is there judgement, for even in this present life punishments hang over those who envy. Let the fate of Jezebel queen of Ahab persuade you, she who craved the vineyard of Naboath and swiftly become food for dogs, and afterwards in eternal fire she was placed. Saint Isidore of Pelusium, Book 1, Letter 237, to Hermocianos
