Wisdom's Call

Τὴν μὲν τοῦ νότου βασίλισσαν ἀκοὴ σοφίας ἐκ τῶν περάτων τῆς γῆς ἐκτεῖναι πρὸς Σολομῶντα παρώτρυνε. Σὲ δὲ Κύριος καθ' ἡμέραν ἐβοῶν, νῆψαι καὶ βλέψαι πρὸς τὸ συμφέρον οὐκ ἔπεισε. Πρόσεχε τοίνυν μὴ ὑπ' ἐκείνης κριθῇς ὅτι τὴν μὲν φῆμαι καὶ λόγοι ἐπτέρωσαν· σὲ δὲ καὶ ὄψις καὶ πρᾶξις τῶν τοῦ Χριστοῦ ἐνεργειῶν οὐδαμῶς ἐβελτίωσαν. Ἅγιος Ἰσίδωρος Του Πηλουσιώτου, Βιβλίον Πρῶτον, ΡΞϚ', Μαρτιανῳ

The Queen of the south hearing of wisdom from the ends of the earth exerted herself to reach Solomon. 1 And the Lord everyday is crying out to you to be sober and look to your advancement, but He has not persuaded you. Take care then less you are condemned, for words and speeches have flown forth and you for sight and deeds of Christ have not exerted yourself to what is better.  Saint Isidore of Pelusium, Book 1, Letter 166, To Martianus 1 3 Kings 10.1
