Kabbalah Amsal 7:23: Sha'arei Kedusha & Zohar

עַ֤ד יְפַלַּ֪ח חֵ֡ץ כְּֽבֵד֗וֹ כְּמַהֵ֣ר צִפּ֣וֹר אֶל־פָּ֑ח וְלֹֽא־יָ֝דַ֗ע כִּֽי־בְנַפְשׁ֥וֹ הֽוּא׃ (פ)

sampai sebatang anak panah menembus hatinya; seperti burung yang bergegas menuju jerat, dan ia tidak tahu bahwa nyawanya sendiri yang menjadi taruhannya.

Sha'arei Kedusha

Why do you hate your enemy, when in reality you have no greater enemy than yourself, in that you bring evil upon yourself by oppressing and damaging your eternal soul and pleasuring your body, which is nothing but a clump of earth that is here today and gone tomorrow? Why do you love your true enemy, the evil inclination-Yetzter HaRa that is within you, though he seeks your downfall and desires to kill you? You are like a bird hurrying to the trap, unaware that it’s life will be lost as the arrow splits it liver!308Proverbs 7:23
