Talmud zu Mischlej 25:19
שֵׁ֣ן רֹ֭עָה וְרֶ֣גֶל מוּעָ֑דֶת מִבְטָ֥ח בּ֝וֹגֵ֗ד בְּי֣וֹם צָרָֽה׃
Das Vertrauen in einen untreuen Mann in Zeiten der Not ist wie ein gebrochener Zahn und ein Fuß aus dem Gelenk.
Tractate Kallah Rabbati
BARAITHA. Do not incur shame from your teeth by overeating.
GEMARA. This refers to the evil inclination; and so Scripture declares, Confidence in an unfaithful man in time of trouble is like a broken tooth, and a foot out of joint.91Prov. 25, 19. Perhaps the Baraitha speaks of the eating of stolen food?92And has no reference to sexual desire. [If it is argued,] It cannot enter your mind that the Baraitha alludes to sin, because if it did it should have taught ‘lest thou come to sin’!93Instead of ‘by over-eating’. [the reply is,] It uses a euphemism, as it is written, She eateth, and wipeth her mouth.94Prov. 30, 20, where eateth clearly denotes sexual sin.
