כִּ֣י ׀ אֱוִ֣יל עַמִּ֗י אוֹתִי֙ לֹ֣א יָדָ֔עוּ בָּנִ֤ים סְכָלִים֙ הֵ֔מָּה וְלֹ֥א נְבוֹנִ֖ים הֵ֑מָּה חֲכָמִ֥ים הֵ֙מָּה֙ לְהָרַ֔ע וּלְהֵיטִ֖יב לֹ֥א יָדָֽעוּ׃
Porque mi pueblo es necio; no me conocieron los hijos ignorantes y los no entendidos; sabios para mal hacer, y para bien hacer no supieron.
The Gate of Unity
Now, [in Chochmah] too there is the matter of [the verses],11Proverbs 8:12; See Maamarei Admor HaEmtzaee, Devarim Vol. 2, pg. 532; Torat Chayim, Noach pg. 79a “I am wisdom, I dwell with craftiness,” or,12Deuteronomy 8:12; Maamarei Admor HaEmtzaee, Devarim Vol. 4, pg. 1,496. “My father was [nearly] destroyed by the Aramite,” which refers to Chochmah of the Kelipah-husks, that is only for the sake of wickedness, as in,13Jeremiah 4:22 “They are wise to do evil,” but not to do good whatsoever. This is not true Chochmah-wisdom, but rather only craftiness and falsehood, as known.
