Kabbalah su Giobbe 4:24

Zohar

"Hearken Laishah:" The word 'Laishah' also appears in the verse, "The lion (Heb. laish) perishes for lack of prey" (Job 4:11). 'Laish' is the masculine term; 'Laishah' is the feminine. "Why is she called 'laish'? Is it because it is written: 'a lion which is strongest among beasts?" (Proverbs 30:30). Or is it written to remind us that "the lion perishes for lack of prey"? All that is said refers to 'laish.' (Here, Malchut is called) the lower Gevurah, as she is drawn down from the upper Gevurah. But she is also "the lion [who] perishes for lack of prey." When these streams depart and do not enter her, then she is called the 'laishah' (lioness), which perishes for lack of prey. As is written: "The lion perishes for lack of prey, and the lion's whelps are scattered abroad" (Job 4:11).

Zohar

However, woe to the man who should make bold to identify the Lord with any single attribute, even if it be His own, and the less so any human form existent, “whose foundation is in the dust” [Job 4:19], and whose creatures are frail, soon gone, soon lost to mind. Man dare project one sole conception of the Holy One, be blessed, that of his sovereignty over some one attribute or over the creation in its entirety. But if he be not seen under these manifestations, then there is neither attribute, nor likeness, nor form in him;

Reshit Chokhmah

The advantage of the immersion was already explained in the Gate of Love, chapter 11, and we said that its power is to return the soul to its place, since one who is impure has no soul (Neshamah), and one who damages the Brit his soul leaves him. And so they have said in the Zohar in Lech Lecha: “410. We have learned that as long as a man is stamped by the holy imprint of this sign, THAT THIS SIGN OF THE COVENANT IS STAMPED IN HIM AND GUARDS HIM ALWAYS, then from within it he can actually see the Holy One, blessed be He, and the holy soul remains attached to him in the sign of the covenant. 411. But if he is not deserving, because he did not preserve this sign, what is written of him? IT IS WRITTEN: “By the breath (or, soul) of Eloha they perish...” (Iyov 4:9), because the imprint of the Holy One, blessed be He, has not been preserved. If he has the merit of preserving it, then the Shechinah shall never depart from him. 412. AND HE ASKS: When does THE SHECHINAH reside within him? AND HE SAID: When he marries, and this sign enters to its place, TO THE SHECHINAH.” You should study there in depth to understand the matter, and we did not write it here as to not lengthen.

Baal HaSulam's Preface to Zohar

Despite all of the above, woe is he who ascribes to Him any attribute, i.e., who claims that the attribute is found in God Himself, even with regard to these spiritual attributes of His, through which He appears to the souls. All the more so regarding the corporeal attributes of the nature of people, whose origin is dust,61See Job 4:19. and who are fleeting and transitory.
