에스겔 3:20의 미드라쉬
וּבְשׁ֨וּב צַדִּ֤יק מִצִּדְקוֹ֙ וְעָ֣שָׂה עָ֔וֶל וְנָתַתִּ֥י מִכְשׁ֛וֹל לְפָנָ֖יו ה֣וּא יָמ֑וּת כִּ֣י לֹ֤א הִזְהַרְתּוֹ֙ בְּחַטָּאת֣וֹ יָמ֔וּת וְלֹ֣א תִזָּכַ֗רְןָ צִדְקֹתָו֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר עָשָׂ֔ה וְדָמ֖וֹ מִיָּדְךָ֥ אֲבַקֵּֽשׁ׃
또 의인이 그 의에서 돌이켜 악을 행할 때에는 이미 행한 그 의는 기억할 바 아니라 내가 그 앞에 거치는 것을 두면 그가 죽을지니 이는 네가 그를 깨우치지 않음이라 그가 그 죄 중에서 죽으려니와 그 피 값은 내가 네 손에서 찾으리라
Ein Yaakov (Glick Edition)
The evil deeds of hypocrites should be made public, to avoid the profaning of the name of the Lord; as it is said (Ezek. 3, 20) When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness and doeth what is wrong, then will I lay a stumbling-block before him so that he shall die. The repentance of the confirmed sinner causes delay of a calamity, and the dispensation is not executed, even after the decree has been sealed. The prosperity of the wicked ends in a snare (leads them to sin); and the high office buries its occupant (causes premature death). One enters the world naked, and naked he leaves it. O, were he but as clean when he goes out as when he came in!
