Kabbalah Kidung Agung 2:15: Sha'arei Orah

However, if the Jewish people do not act appropriately, what is written?²⁷¹Isaiah 57:1 “Because of the evil, the righteous-Tzaddik-צדיק is gathered up.” The righteous-Tzaddik-צדיק is the quality of judgement-Din-דין. It also states,²⁷²Proverbs 10:25 “The righteous-Tzaddik-צדיק is the foundation-Yesod-יסוד of the world,” and it says, “From Zion, the consummate beauty, God-Elo”him-אלהי״ם appeared.” When the quality of the righteous-Tzaddik-צדיק is gathered in, Mount Zion is destroyed. What is written about when HaShem’s-יהו"ה quality as the Living God-El Chai- withdraws from Mount Zion?²⁷³Job 5:18 “Upon Mount Zion, the desolate, foxes walked.” Who are the foxes that walked upon it? All the powers of impurity, who are called,²⁷⁴Song of Songs 2:15 “The little foxes who destroy vineyards.” What are these vineyards? They are,²⁷⁵Isaiah 5:7 “the vineyard of HaShem of Hosts-יהו"ה צבאות.”
