קבלה על משלי 3:12

7. Chochmah, too, is free of Judgement, influencing the world with great kindness including the unworthy, but, not to the extent of Keter. The quality of Binah is kindness as well, yet to a lesser degree. This is because judgments begin to arise in Binah, as mentioned in the blessing: "Who gives the rooster the understanding (Binah) to discern (Judgment) between day and night," - For sometimes, in order to prevent anarchy, G-d excercises judgment upon the world, so that evil, though a necessary component in creation for the purpose of choice, not be left unchecked. This judgment, in truth, is a kindness to the world. Moreover, kindness may be the motivating factor of severity, as scripture states, "For whom the L-rd loves, He corrects," and, "As a man chastens his son so does the L-rd your G-d chasten you."
