Musar su Isaia 55:8

כִּ֣י לֹ֤א מַחְשְׁבוֹתַי֙ מַחְשְׁב֣וֹתֵיכֶ֔ם וְלֹ֥א דַרְכֵיכֶ֖ם דְּרָכָ֑י נְאֻ֖ם יְהוָֽה׃

Poiché i miei pensieri non sono i tuoi pensieri, né i tuoi modi sono i miei modi, dice l'Eterno.

Tomer Devorah

Surveillance over the needs of others: It is also from the way of Wisdom for It to be surveying all things in existence, since It is the Thought that thinks about all things in existence. And about It is it stated (Isaiah 55:8), "For My thoughts are not your thoughts"; and written (II Samuel 14:14), "and He thinks thoughts that one banished not be banished from Him"; and [also] written (Jeremiah 29:11), "For I have known the thoughts that I am thinking about you, House of Israel; thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give to you an ending of hope." So [too,] must a person's eyes be open over the behavior of the people of God, to benefit them. And his thoughts [should] be to bring close the banished, and to think good thoughts about them. [Just] like the Mind thinks [about the] benefit of all existence, so [should] he think about the benefit of his fellows and counsel them [with] advice [that is] good with God and with His people, [both] individually and generally. And he [should] lead one who leaves good behavior, towards straight behavior; and he [should] be like a mind and thought to steer him and lead him to good and straight action - [just] like the Highest Thought straightens the Highest Man (the Divine Emanations below It).

Shenei Luchot HaBerit

ויוסף הוא השליט . The prophet Isaiah quotes G–d as saying: "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, etc," (Isaiah 55,8). Man's thoughts are vain. When man believes that a certain course of action would prove beneficial to him, the reverse is often the case. The brothers, who had attempted to frustrate any chance of Joseph ever realizing his dreams, had furthered Joseph's career by their very actions. We must learn from this example to always strive to further G–d's plans and to abandon our own will when it appears to conflict with the will of G–d.
