Kabbalah su Proverbi 6:41

Or Neerav

How has become dim (Lam. 4:1) for them the candle of commandment and the light of Torah (Prov. 6:23) which gives light to these hypocrites. For like the grass they will soon wither (Ps. 37:2), since a mistake in learning causes intentional sin, Sheol and Abaddon (Prov. 15:11), the venom of serpents and the poison of vipers (Deut. 32:33). But they are altogether brutish and foolish (Jer. 10:8), [following] after vanity, and they will become naught (Jer. 2:5), attempting to bring forth a perverted justice (Hab. 1:4) which will eventuate in a defective deed. Turn away from the tents (Num. 16:26) of the man who slumbers, the ass of a wild man (Job 11:12); a fool and ignorant man is his companion, brutish, unlike a man (Prov. 30:2), who errs and is like a fool.

“Why is it written, The way to life is the rebuke that disciplines (Prov. 6:23)?

Derech Etz Chayim (Ramchal)

As in the words of King Solomon (Mishlei 6:23): "...and The Torah is a light" - literally light and not just wisdom nor analogous to light, literally light, as this it's reality above. So, when The Torah enters the soul, the light enters, as the ray of the sun enters a house. Furthermore, accurately analogous to The Torah is fire and as with a coal, the fire is contained within it and just needs a burst of oxygen to ignite the flame to expose it's many colors which were hidden prior.

Zohar

This is what is written, "When you walk, it shall lead you; when you lay down, it shall keep you and when you awake, it shall talk with you". (Proverbs 6:22). "When you walk, it shall lead you," refers to [the Torah that walks before one at the time he leaves the world]. "When you lay down, it shall keep you," refers to the interval when the body lays in the grave, for at that time the body is judged and sentenced and the Torah acts in its defense. "And when you awake, it shall talk with you," refers to the time at which the dead rise from the dust. "It shall talk with you" means it will speak in your defense.

48. Rabbi Chiya opened with the words, “He who robs his father or his mother…” (Mishlei 28:24). His father is the Holy One, blessed be He, and his mother is the Congregation of Yisrael. “robs” is as in the words, “the robbery of the poor is in your houses” (Yeshayah 3:14). What is THE ROBBERY? It is man coveting another woman, who is not his wife. 49. We learned there that whoever derives any enjoyment from this world without blessing, it is as if he robs the Holy One, blessed be He, and the Congregation of Yisrael, as written, “He who robs his father or his mother, and says, It is no transgression; he is companion of a destroyer.” Whoever enjoys anything of this world, THE WORDS ‘WHOEVER ENJOYS’ include a woman. Whoever joins a woman to enjoy her without a blessing, NAMELY WITHOUT THE SEVEN BLESSINGS BESTOWED ON THE BRIDE, it is as if HE robs the Holy One, blessed be He, and the Congregation of Yisrael. What is the reason thereof? Because they are united by means of the seven blessings AND HE WHO DERIVES ENJOYMENT WITHOUT THEM BLEMISHES THE SUPERNAL SEVEN BLESSINGS. And if this is true to a single woman, it is all the more true for one who unites with another man’s wife, who has the likeness of above by means of the seven blessings THROUGH HER HUSBAND, all the more so. 50. “he is companion of a destroyer” (Mishlei 28:24) refers to Jeroboam, as was explained, who “says, It is no transgression” (Ibid.), saying, she is single, why should it be forbidden? Therefore, he “robs his father or his mother.” Moreover, “he is companion of a destroyer.” The destroyer is a man who blemishes the form and establishment of above, and all the more so whoever covets his neighbor’s wife to cling to her, who blemishes even more. He is thus blemished forever. He is a destroyer because he blemishes above, blemishes below, and blemishes his soul, as written, “a destroyer,” and, “he who does that destroys his soul” (Mishlei 6:32).

Torah is also a correction that can protect one from Keri, and this is hinted in the Zohar in Vayeshev: “223. Rabbi Yosi said that when a man notices that he is assailed by evil thoughts, he should study the Torah and they will pass. Rabbi Elazar said that when the Evil Side comes to crush man, he should draw it toward the Torah and it will part from him. 224. Come and behold: we have learned that when the Evil Side stands before the Holy One, blessed be He, and indicts the world for its evil sins, the Holy One, blessed be He, pities the world and advises men on how to be saved from it, so it will not control them or their deeds. The advice is to escape the Evil Side by studying the Torah diligently. HE ASKS: How do we know this? HE ANSWERS: From the verse, “For Your commandment is a lamp; and Torah is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life,” which is followed by the verse: “To keep you from the evil woman, from the smoothness of the tongue of a foreign woman” (Mishlei 6:23-24). THE TORAH THEN PRESERVES ONE FROM THE EVIL INCLINATION. 225. The Side of Defilement, the Other Side, is always before the Holy One, blessed be He, blaming men for their transgressions. It also stands below to accuse men for their sins. HE EXPLAINED THAT it stands above to remind men of their sins and to accuse them for their deeds, because they were given over to its power, as was Job WHEN THE HOLY ONE, BLESSED BE HE, SAID TO THE SATAN: “HE IS IN YOUR HAND” (IYOV 2:6).” It is known that the force of Keri comes from the ‘foreign woman’, as we have just quoted in the Zohar, and thus the Torah is a protection that protects man from these powers.

Similarly it says in the Faithful Sheppard in the Zohar in Pinchas B: 600. And in the first part, the Faithful Shepherd said: Whoever treats lightly crumbs of bread and throws them where they should not be, and even more so one who treats lightly pieces of marrow, that are drops of seed, and throws them on the ground, it is said about them: “for all flesh had corrupted its way upon the earth” (Beresheet 6:12). Or he who throws them to a menstruating woman, or the daughter of an idolater, or a bondwoman or a prostitute, and much more so one who treats lightly the crumbs of the bread of the Torah, which are THE SECRETS THAT ARE IN the tips of the letters and the crowns of the letters, about these it is said: He that makes worldly use of the crown shall perish. 601. And how much more so whoever transmits secrets of the Torah and the secrets of the Kabbalah and the secrets of the Works of Creation or secrets of the letters of the explicit Name to people who are not worthy, who are in the control of the Evil Inclination, a harlot, about whom it is written: “For by means of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread” (Mishlei 6:26). And whenever bread is mentioned the meaning is the 22 letters of the Torah, and whenever ‘piece’ is mentioned the meaning is even a single Halachah.
