Midrash su Ezechiele 7:22

(Fol. 62) R. Tarphon was met by a certain man during the season when people laid the figs in layers. While R. Tarphon was eating figs from that garden, the man [seemingly the owner of the garden,] put R. Tarphon into a bag on his shoulder and carried him away with the intention of throwing him into the river. R. Tarphon then whispered through the bag: "Woe unto Tarphon that he is going to be killed by this man." The man overheard it, and the result was that he left him in the bag and ran away. R. Abahu, in the name of R. Chanania b. Gamaliel, said that during the entire life of that righteous man (R. Tarphon) he suffered because of his incident and would say: "Woe unto me that I have made use of the crown of the Torah." For Rabba b. Chanania said in the name of R. Jochanan: "Whoever makes use of the crown of the Torah will be uprooted from the world." This we infer by applying a fortiori deduction. If [king] Belshazzar who made use of the sacred vessels of the Temple, which afterwards became secular, as it is said (Ez. 7, 22) And robbers shall enter into it and profane it; i.e., as soon as it was robbed it became profane (secular), nevertheless Belshazzar was uprooted from this world, as it is written (Dan. 5, 30) It was that night that Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain, how much more so should it be applied to one who makes use of the crown of the Torah which endures forever." But why felt R. Tarphon sorry because of it, since he ate the figs [when it was legally permitted] during the season when the people lay them in layers? And again why was he attacked by the man? Because thieves used to break in that place during the entire year and would steal grapes from him, and as soon as he found R. Tarphon he thought that he was the thief. If so, then why was R. Tarphon sorry for it? Because R. Tarphon was a very wealthy man and he should have appeased him with some money."
