The Wicked are as Goats
Matthew 25:31
When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:


They are as goats both for their unruliness and uncleanness. Unruliness; they have not the meekness of sheep; are ready to break through all fence and restraint; so a wicked man is yokeless. They are also wanton and loathsome — 'tis a baser sort of animal than the sheep — therefore chosen to set forth a wicked and ungodly man.

(T. Manton.)
