Kabbalah su Proverbi 8:17

אֲ֭נִי אהביה [אֹהֲבַ֣י] אֵהָ֑ב וּ֝מְשַׁחֲרַ֗י יִמְצָאֻֽנְנִי׃

Io amo quelli che mi amano, e quelli che mi cercano seriamente mi troveranno.

Or Neerav

Concerning people of these three types, we may say that, although their intention is to exalt this science, they are, truthfully, not qualified to speak of it. Who should come and testify—one who has not observed the moon or one who has?5Witnesses to the sighting of a new moon were rigorously interrogated. See Mishnah, Rosh ha-Shanah 2:6. True it is that this science is sublime and exalted, as we will yet indicate with God’s help. However, concerning these people and their ilk, we must say [that they are] those who speak of you with deliberate evil (Ps. 139:20). Of them it is said, Wisdom is too high for a fool; he dare not open his mouth in the gates (Prov. 24:7). It is also written, The conceited man seeks wisdom yet finds none; to one of understanding, knowledge comes easily (Prov. 14:6). It is also written, I love those who love me; those who search for me find me (Prov. 8:17). There are many similar [verses] in the admonitions of King Solomon, peace upon him.

Reshit Chokhmah

Another habit that is included in the attribute of being a Tzadik is one who wakes up early to be the first one in the Bet Kneset, as it says in the Zohar in Terumah: 87. Then the holy people needs to join and come to the synagogue, and whoever comes first joins with the Shechinah in one union. Come and see that first one to be present in the synagogue. Blessed is his portion, for he stands in the level of the righteous in relation to the Shechinah, and this is the secret of: “And those who seek me early shall find me” (Mishlei 8:17). Such a person rises to the highest level.
