A blind man was in the habit of identifying any animal placed in his hands by feeling it. One day, when a wolf cub was handed to him, he felt it over and, uncertain, said, “I do not know whether it is the offspring of a wolf, a fox, or some other such creature. But this much I know for certain: this animal is not fit to be allowed among a flock of sheep.”
So the nature of the wicked is often plain even from their outward appearance.
Ἀνὴρ πηρὸς εἰώθει πᾶν τὸ ἐπιτιθέμενον εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτῷ ζῶον ἐφαπτόμενος λέγειν, ὁποῖόν τι ἐστι. Καὶ δή ποτε λυκιδίου αὐτῷ ἐπιδοθέντος, ψηλαφήσας καὶ ἀμφιγνοῶν εἶπεν· ,,οὐκ οἶδα, πότερον λύκου εἴη ἢ ἀλώπεκος ἢ τοιούτου τινὸς ζώου γέννημα· τοῦτο μέντοι σαφῶς ἐπίσταμαι, ὅτι οὐκ ἐπιτήδειον τοῦτο τὸ ζῶον προβάτων ποίμνῃ συνιέναι.
Οὕτω τῶν πονηρῶν ἡ διάθεσις πολλάκις καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ σώματος καταφαίνεται.
