Commentaire sur Les Proverbes 13:19: Rachi, Rambam, Ibn Ezra et plus

תַּאֲוָ֣ה נִ֭הְיָה תֶּעֱרַ֣ב לְנָ֑פֶשׁ וְתוֹעֲבַ֥ת כְּ֝סִילִ֗ים ס֣וּר מֵרָֽע׃

Un désir qui se réalise est une joie pour l’âme; s’abstenir du mal fait horreur aux sots.

Rashi on Proverbs

pleases the soul When a person’s desire comes to him it pleases his soul. Therefore, it is an abomination to a fool to turn away from evil because it pleases him to gratify his desire.

Rashi on Proverbs

fulfilled Heb. נהיה, lit. is. Another explanation: a desire fulfilled The Holy One, blessed be He, desires that Israel do His will, and when His desire is fulfilled, it pleases Him. And it is the abomination of the wicked that they turn away from their evil to gratify their desire.
