Talmud sur Les Proverbes 5:22

עַֽווֹנוֹתָ֗יו יִלְכְּדֻנ֥וֹ אֶת־הָרָשָׁ֑ע וּבְחַבְלֵ֥י חַ֝טָּאת֗וֹ יִתָּמֵֽךְ׃

L’impie est pris dans ses péchés comme dans un lacet, il s’embarrasse dans les entraves de son crime.

Avot D'Rabbi Natan

(Yehoshua ben Prachya and) Nittai the Arbelite would say: Stay away from a bad neighbor, do not befriend the wicked, and do not think there is no punishment.

Stay away from a bad neighbor. Whether a neighbor in your house, a neighbor outside, or a neighbor in the field. (This teaches us) that afflictions come only [upon the house of the wicked, as it says (Proverbs 5:22), “A wicked person will be trapped by his sins.” This teaches us that] afflictions come only for the sins of the wicked. But the sins of the wicked cause him to knock down the wall of the righteous. [How so?] If there is a wall between a wicked person and a righteous person, and an infestation appears in the house of the wicked one [on the wall that stands between him and the righteous one, they will end up knocking down the wall] of the righteous one for the sins of the wicked. (Rabbi Yishmael the son of Rabbi Yohanan ben Beroka would say:) Woe to the wicked, and woe to his neighbor (for the sins of the wicked cause them to knock down the wall of the righteous).
