Those on the left hand
After the righteous are judged, the King will turn to those on his left hand, and they also shall be judged, every man according to his works. But not only their outward works will be brought into the account, but all the evil words which they have ever spoken. Yes, all the evil desires, affections, and tempers which have, or have had, a place in their souls, and all the evil thoughts or designs which were ever cherished in their hearts. The joyful sentence of acquittal will then be pronounced upon those on the right hand. The dreadful sentence of condemnation upon those on the left. Both must remain fixed and immovable, as the throne of God.

12. After the righteous are judged, the King will turn to them upon his left hand, and they shall also be judged, every man according to his works. But not only their outward works will be brought into the account, but all the evil words which they have ever spoken; yea, all the evil desires, affections, tempers, which have or have had, a place in their souls, and all the evil thoughts or designs which were ever cherished in their hearts. The joyful sentence of acquital will then be pronounced upon those upon the right hand: the dreadful sentence of condemnation upon those on the left: both of which must remain fixt and unmoveable, as the throne of God.
