Talmud sobre Proverbios 3:34

Rebbi Jeremiah said that Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac asked: Justice protects the one on the straight path but sin destroys the sinner¹⁴Prov. 13:6.. Evil deeds will pursue the sinner but He will reward the just¹⁵Prov. 13:21.. While He makes scoffers targets of scoffing, He will bestow grace on the meek¹⁶Prov. 3:34.. He will watch over the feet of his pious ones, but evildoers will be silent in the darkness¹⁷1 Sam.. 2:9.. The wise will inherit honor, but shame will mark the stupid ones¹⁸Prov. 3:35.. Fences are made fences and doors doors. Is it so that fences make fences and doors doors? But so it is: Rebbi Jeremiah in the name of Rebbi Samuel ben Rav Isaac: If a person is careful the first, second, and third times not to commit a sin, then in the future the Holy One, praise to Him, will watch over him. What is the reason? All this God will do twice, three times with a man¹⁹Job 33:29.. Rebbi Zeˋira said, but only if the person does not revert [to sin]. What is the reason? It does not say the triple thread “will never snap” but rather will not quickly snap²⁰Eccl. 4:12.. If you work on it, it will split.

²⁸¹Num. rabba 9(24). It is written: “They came to the vineyards in direction of Timna.²⁸²Jud. 14:5.” Rav²⁸³The title has to be “Rebbi”. Samuel ben Rav Isaac said, this teaches you that his father and mother were showing him the vineyards in direction of Timna sown in several kinds and saying to him: My son, just as their vineyards are sown with several kinds so their daughters are sown with several kinds²⁸⁴They are children of adultery. Jud. 14:4.. “And his father and mother did not know that this was from the Eternal, that he was looking for a pretext from the Philistines.” Rebbi Eleazar said, In seven places it is written: “Do not contract marriage with them.²⁸⁵That verse is only in Deut. 7:3. But the prohibition of Canaanite women is also in Ex. 34:16. Outside the Pentateuch, the prohibition is mentioned Mal. 2:11, Ezra 9:2,12,14; Neh. 10:31.” Rebbi Abun said, to prohibit seven peoples²⁸⁶The seven Canaanite tribes enumerated in Gen. 15:20–21. Philistines are not mentioned in that list.. And here, it says so²⁸⁷It is not obvious what the remark means. According to R. David Fraenckel, since Simson’s relations with Philistine women were not forbidden, why was he punished? According to R. Moses Margalit, since all non-Jewish women are forbidden in the interpretation of pentateuchal law in Mal., Ezra, Neh., how can it be said that his first marriage was (Jud. 14:4) “from the Eternal”?? Rebbi Isaac said, “if he scoffs about the scoffers.²⁸⁸Prov. 3:34. According to R. David Fraenckel, since at least Simson’s relations with the Gazean prostitute and Dalilah were illegitimate, he deserved punishment.”

Rebbi⁶⁶⁹For chronological reasons, this title from פן is the only correct one. Jeremiah said that Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac asked about: “Justice watches over the one ambling in simplicity but evil falsifies sin⁶⁷⁰Prov. 13:6. This and the following verses seem to imply that a person is just not by his own merit but only by God’s grace, whereas the wicked are destined to be wicked. This kind of predestination certainly contradicts the doctrine of personal responsibility which rabbinic interpretation finds in Deut. 11:26–28, 30:15–20..” “Evil pursues the sinners but He well rewards the just.”⁶⁷⁰Prov. 13:21. “He watches over the feet of His pious, but the wicked will be silenced in darkness, etc.⁶⁷¹1S. 2:9. This and the following verses are not in the Genizah fragment. In Peah, the order of the verses is slightly different.” “If He scoffs with the scoffers, but to the meek He gives kindness.⁶⁷²Prov. 3:34.” “Sages inherit honor, but shame lifts the silly.⁶⁷³Prov. 3:35.” Fencing makes a fence, and doors entry⁶⁷⁴A popular adage to the effect that a good fence warns away potential trespassers but an open door invites thieves. If the just are fenced in from the start but the wicked left open to sin, there is no personal merit in good behavior.. And so it is, fencing makes a fence and a door entry. But Rebbi Jeremiah asked in the name of Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac: If somebody guards himself once, twice, and three times from a sin, from then on the Holy One, praise to Him, will guard him⁶⁷⁵If a person from personal initiative guards himself a few times from sinning in a particular way, then it becomes an automatic habit and in the future will not require additional will power. In the Babli, Yoma 86b, the Tanna R. Yose ben R. Jehudah is quoted as inferring that the same kind of sin is forgiven by the Heavenly Court a maximum of three times. Šabbat 104a, Yoma 38b, R. Simeon ben Laqish quotes Prov. 3:34 to the effect that Heaven will make it easy for the just to be just, for the wicked to be wicked.. What is the reason? “Lo, all this God will work, twice or three times with a man.”
