Kutipan Tanakh Amsal 14:34: Tanya

צְדָקָ֥ה תְרֽוֹמֵֽם־גּ֑וֹי וְחֶ֖סֶד לְאֻמִּ֣ים חַטָּֽאת׃

Kebajikan meninggikan suatu bangsa, tetapi kemurahan hati bangsa-bangsa lain adalah dosa.

Tanya

The souls of the people of the world, however, emanate from the other, unclean klipot which contain no good whatsoever. As written in Etz Chayim (portal 49 chapter 3) that all the good that the people do, is done out of selfish motivations. So the Gemara comments (Bava Batra 10b.) on the verse (Mishlei 14:34), "The kindness of the people is sin"- that all the charity and kindness done by the people of the world is only for their self-glorification. etc.
