Kabbalah zu Jeschijahu 3:10

A different meaning is that "a good man" signifies the righteous. As it is written: "Say to the righteous, that it shall be well with him (or: that he is good), for they shall eat the fruit of their doings" (Yeshayah 3:10). Rabbi Yosi said that it alludes to Noah, as it is written: "Noah was a righteous man." Rabbi Yitzchak said that "a good man" alludes to the glory of the Shabbat, because the text begins with the words: "It is a good thing to give thanks to Hashem" (Tehilim 92:2).

Rabbi Yehuda said, But we have already learned that the world stands upon seven pillars; (Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod Yesod, Malchut). As it is written, "She has hewn out her seven pillars" (Proverbs 9:1). Rabbi Yosi told him, It is certainly so! But all the other pillars stand erect because of the seventh pillar, which supports the whole world, and he is 'the righteous,' (the Yesod of Zeir Anpin). And he refreshes and replenishes the world and nourishes all (the worlds). And he is described by the verse, "Say you to the righteous, that it shall be well (also: 'that he is good') with him, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings" (Isaiah 3:10). Moreover, it is also written, "Hashem is good to all; and His tender mercies are over all his works" (Ps. 145:9).

Furthermore, regarding Tzedakah that one can merit by it the level of Tzadik, it says in the Zohar in Behar: 52. “And if you shall say, ‘What shall we eat’” (Vayikra 25:20). Rabbi Yehuda opened the discussion with, “Trust in Hashem, and do good; dwell in the land, and enjoy security (lit. ‘Faith’)” (Tehilim 37:3). Man should always be careful with his Master, and cleave with his heart to the supernal Faith, so as to be perfect with his Master. For when he is perfect with his Master, the inhabitants of the world can do him no harm. 53. Come and behold: “Trust in Hashem, and do good.” What is “and do good”? We have learned that by stirring below, a supernal deed is stirred above. It has already been established that, “and do them,” means you shall so to speak do them, since by your deed of stirring below, there is stirring above. Therefore, it is written, “and do good,” since good is nothing but the Righteous, YESOD OF ZEIR ANPIN, as is written, “Say of the righteous that it shall be well (lit. ‘good’)” (Yeshayah 3:10). When you do this, assuredly this goodness will stir ABOVE. Then, “dwell in the land, and enjoy Faith.” And everything is one, AS LAND AND FAITH ARE BOTH MALCHUT. 54. HE EXPLAINS HIS WORDS: “dwell in the land,” refers to the supernal land, MALCHUT, since there is none in the world that can dwell with her until that good, YESOD OF ZEIR ANPIN, is stirred towards her, AS MALCHUT WITHOUT YESOD IS FILLED WITH SEVERE JUDGMENTS. Once MAN stirs it BY HIS GOOD DEEDS, it is as if he formed it. Then, “dwell in the land”; dwell inside MALCHUT, eat of her fruit and have pleasure with her. “…and enjoy Faith…” This is the land, NAMELY MALCHUT, AS FAITH AND LAND are all one, MALCHUT, as it is written, “and your faithfulness every night” (Tehilim 92:3), NIGHT BEING MALCHUT. “And enjoy (also: ‘guide’) Faith,” MEANS lead her wherever you wish. 55. If one does not stir YESOD towards her, this goodness, YESOD, stays away from her. Do not approach her THEN, do not come near the furnace of burning fire, SINCE WITHOUT YESOD, SHE IS FILLED WITH JUDGMENTS, LIKE A GLOWING FURNACE. If you do come near her, be fearful, as one fearful of death, since then she is a burning fire that consumes the world with its flames. When one stirs this goodness towards her, he then dwells inside her and is not afraid of her. Then, “You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto you; and the light shall shine upon your ways” (Iyov 22:28).
