Midrash sobre Job 37:24
לָ֭כֵן יְרֵא֣וּהוּ אֲנָשִׁ֑ים לֹֽא־יִ֝רְאֶ֗ה כָּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵֽב׃ (פ)
Temerlo han por tanto los hombres: El no mira á los sabios de corazón.
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
Who are referred to by Jews (who are sinners) with their body? Rab said: "The Karkaphtha (the head of him) who puts no T'fillin on." And who are referred to by non-Jews who transgress with the body? Said Rab: "Those guilty of the sin [of adultery]." Who are referred to by those [rulers] who tyrannize the land of the living? R. Chisda said: "This refers to a ruler who imposes extraordinary fear upon the community not for the sake of God." R. Juda said in the name of Rab: "A leader who imposes extraordinary fear upon the community not for the sake of God, will never have a learned son; as it is said (Job 37, 24) Men do therefore fear him, he respecteth not any that are wise of heart."

Ein Yaakov
(13) Raba expounded what is meant by the passage (Ps. 116, 1) It is lovely to me that the Lord heareth my voice. Thus said the congregation of Israel unto the Holy One, praised be He! "Sovereign of the Universe, when am I beloved of Thee? When Thou harkenest unto my voice of prayer. (Ib. ib., 6) I am poor, yet He helpeth me; i.e., although I am poor in meritorious deeds, yet it is fair that Thou shouldst help me." (14) Who are referred to by Jews (who are sinners) with their body? Rab said: "The Karkaphtha (the head of him) who puts no T'fillin on." And who are referred to by non-Jews who transgress with the body? Said Rab: "Those guilty of the sin [of adultery]." Who are referred to by those [rulers] who tyrannize the land of the living? R. Chisda said: "This refers to a ruler who imposes extraordinary fear upon the community not for the sake of God." R.
