Kabbalah su Proverbi 7:28

Zohar

Another explanation, A king is "a woman who fears Hashem," as it is written, "A woman who fears Hashem, she shall be praised" (Mishlei 31:30). A tilled field is a strange woman, (the Sitra Achra) as it is written, "That they may keep you from the strange woman" (Mishlei 7:5). For there is a field, and there is a field. There is a field in which all blessings and holiness dwell, as it is written, "Like the smell of a field which Hashem has blessed". And there is a field in which destruction and defilement, extinction, killings and war reside. This king sometimes tills the second field, as it is written, "For three things the earth the earth is disquieted...and a handmaid that is heir to her mistress" (Mishlei 30:21) is covered and darkened until it is purified and joins (Zeir Anpin) above.

Zohar

And on this subject, it is written, "Woe to them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity" (Is. 5:18). "Iniquity" is related to the [perverse] man. "And sin as it were with a cart rope". What is sin? This is the female, namely the wife of harlotry. The gender is implied in the phrase, "and sin as it were with a cart rope." He [who sins] draws iniquity, [the Qlippoth], with these cords of vanity. And afterwards: "draws sin as it were with a cart rope." - that female, who is called "sin" - as she grows strong and flies off to slay human beings. Therefore, "she has cast down many deadly wounded" (Proverbs 7:26). Who "has cast down?" That sin that slays human beings. And who caused all this? The student of the law who did not earn the right to teach, but does so [anyway]. So may the Merciful One save us!

Zohar

"And the men of the place asked him of his wife; and he said, 'She is my sister" (Gen. 26:7), that is, just like Abraham said. For the Shechinah was with Isaac and his wife, and he said of the Shechinah, as it is written, "Say to wisdom, 'you are my sister'" (Mishlei 7:4). Thus, he was strengthened and said, "She is my sister." Abraham and Isaac deserved (to say this). This is assuredly so because of the verse "My sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled" (Shir Hashirim 5:2). (They) were therefore worthy of saying "She is my sister." Thus, the Righteous were strengthened by the Holy One, blessed be He.

Zohar

Come and behold, it is written, "Because I thought, 'Surely the fear of Elohim is not in this place'" (Beresheet 20:11). According to Rabbi Abba, this is the reason why he said, "She is my sister." He wanted to cleave to the Shechinah, as it is written, "Say to wisdom, you are my sister."Why? Because they had no faith in them, for if they had faith, he would not have needed that. He therefore said, "Because I thought, 'Surely the fear of Elohim is not is not in this place." The fear of Elohim is Faith.

Zohar

The phrase, "my sister," has two meanings. The first is literal. The second is figurative, as in the verse, "Say to wisdom; You are my sister." (Mishlei 7:4). It also is written, "Say, I pray you, you are my sister" (Gen. 12:13). ('You' alludes here to the Shechinah). And it is also written, "speak you to us" (Devarim 5:24). In addressing the Shechinah, he said, "That it may be well with me for your sake," (for the sake of the Shechinah) and also "my soul shall live because of you," because, as a result of this, a person is elevated up to the path of life. "Say, I pray you, you are my sister..." Rabbi Yesa said, Abraham knew that all the Egyptians are lecherous. Since he knew this,

Idra Zuta

It is written, “Say to wisdom, You are my sister” (Mishlei 7:4). There is Chochmah, and then there is Chochmah. That is, upper Chochmah that is Aba and Ima and lower Chochmah that is Malchut. This Female, which is Malchut, is called the lesser Chochmah in relation to the other, which is the highest Chochmah. It is therefore written, “We have a little sister, and she has no breasts” (Shir Hashirim 8:8). This Chochmah was carried into exile and therefore has no breasts to extend abundance to Israel. “We have a little sister”: she surely seems little while in exile; but she is great and multitudinous, being the wholeness that receives from all the Sfirot, when Israel dwell in their own land, as written, “I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers” (Ibid. 10), that is, they are full to suckle everyone. They are as towers that are the great rivers that originate in the highest Ima that are called towers.
