Pensée juive sur Ézéchiel 16:19

וְלַחְמִי֩ אֲשֶׁר־נָתַ֨תִּי לָ֜ךְ סֹ֣לֶת וָשֶׁ֤מֶן וּדְבַשׁ֙ הֶֽאֱכַלְתִּ֔יךְ וּנְתַתִּ֧יהוּ לִפְנֵיהֶ֛ם לְרֵ֥יחַ נִיחֹ֖חַ וַיֶּ֑הִי נְאֻ֖ם אֲדֹנָ֥י יְהוִֽה׃

Et mon pain que je t’avais donné, je te nourrissais de fine fleur de farine, d’huile et de miel, tu le leur as offert en odeur agréable; oui, il en a été ainsi, dit le Seigneur Dieu.

Akeidat Yitzchak

Once the evolutionary process of nature has been revealed, he who denies its Creator surely is guilty of wilful misconduct and therefore is deserving of punishment. Solomon, in Kohelet 8,11, refers to the fact that the absence of immediate catastrophic consequences enables a sinner to act in accordance with the dictates of his heart.
