Pondering Positions Of Judgement

Τὸ πρᾶον καὶ ἥμερον, καὶ περιβολῆς καὶ σκέπης ἐπίκουρον πρόνατον, ἐκ δεξιῶν στήσεσθαι Θεοῦ, ὁ θεῖος λέγει χρησμός· τὸν δὲ τραχὺν καὶ παμφάγον καὶ ἄγριον, ἐξ εὐωνύμων βληθήσεσθαι ἔριφον. Τὰς τοιάασδε πολιτείας δηλῶν, κατάλληλον ἑαυταῖς κληρουμένας κατάστασιν. Θατέραν τοίνυν στυγήσαντες, τῆς ἑτέρας ἀπρὶξ ἀντισχώμεθα. Ἅγιος Ἰσίδωρος Του Πηλουσιώτου, Βιβίον Α', Ἐπιστολὴ ΣΠΗ' Ἑρμινῳ Κομητι

Divine Scripture tells that we should be meek and gentle and clad in that vestment and covering that we stand at the right side of God, while the bitter and devouring and wild goats are placed on the left side. 1 With such states being clearly manifested what position one would inherit should be pondered. Then hating one side, let us cleave firmly to the other.   Saint Isidore of Pelusium, Book 1, Letter 288, To Count Herminos 1 Mt 25.32-33
