[referring to] the Torah, which is the proverb of the Holy One, Blessed is He.⁸And accordingly הַקַּדְמֹנִי means ‘The Ancient One’ referring to ה׳ Himself.

From the wicked comes wickedness.⁹So let it not come from me even if you deserve it.—Radak. The Holy One, Blessed is He, destines the wicked to fall into the hand of the wicked like himself. And where did the Torah say this, "And God destined it into his hand,"¹⁰Shemos 21:13. as it is stated in Maseches Makos.¹¹
