Talmud zu Schoftim 5:31
כֵּ֠ן יֹאבְד֤וּ כָל־אוֹיְבֶ֙יךָ֙ יְהוָ֔ה וְאֹ֣הֲבָ֔יו כְּצֵ֥את הַשֶּׁ֖מֶשׁ בִּגְבֻרָת֑וֹ וַתִּשְׁקֹ֥ט הָאָ֖רֶץ אַרְבָּעִ֥ים שָׁנָֽה׃ (פ)
So mögen alle deine Feinde zu Grunde gehen, Herr! Die ihn lieben [mögen sein] wie das Aufleuchten der Sonne in ihrer Herrlichkeit. Das Land hatte vierzig Jahre Ruhe.
Tractate Derekh Eretz Rabbah
Concerning them who suffer insults but do not insult, who hear themselves reviled and do not answer back, who perform [religious precepts] from love26Of God and not the expectation of reward. and rejoice in their chastisements,27Because imposed by God either to test their faith or to punish them in this world for their sins, rewarding their virtues in the hereafter. Scripture declares, But they that love Him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might.28Judg. 5, 31.
