קהלת ז:טו קבלה: Idra Zuta

King Solomon said of this, “All things have I seen in the days of my vanity; there is a just man who perishes in his righteousness…” (Kohelet 7:15). This vanity is one of seven vanities above that are called the king’s face. They are the seven Sfirot Chesed, Gvurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod and Malchut. This is holy Malchut, the last of the seven vanities. When she is aroused along with her judgments, it is written, “there is a just man who perishes in his righteousness…” the reason being that justice is removed from righteousness and Malchut is left without the right side. It is therefore read, “bus sometimes ruin comes for want of justice.”
