אֶת־הַכֹּ֥ל רָאִ֖יתִי בִּימֵ֣י הֶבְלִ֑י יֵ֤שׁ צַדִּיק֙ אֹבֵ֣ד בְּצִדְק֔וֹ וְיֵ֣שׁ רָשָׁ֔ע מַאֲרִ֖יךְ בְּרָעָתֽוֹ׃
내가 내 헛된 날에 이 모든 일을 본즉 자기의 의로운 중에서 멸망하는 의인이 있고 자기의 악행 중에서 장수하는 악인이 있으니
Idra Zuta
King Solomon said of this, “All things have I seen in the days of my vanity; there is a just man who perishes in his righteousness…” (Kohelet 7:15). This vanity is one of seven vanities above that are called the king’s face. They are the seven Sfirot Chesed, Gvurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod and Malchut. This is holy Malchut, the last of the seven vanities. When she is aroused along with her judgments, it is written, “there is a just man who perishes in his righteousness…” the reason being that justice is removed from righteousness and Malchut is left without the right side. It is therefore read, “bus sometimes ruin comes for want of justice.”
