잠언 28:4의 탈무드

R. Dosethai b. Judah said: One should always⁵⁶In Ber. 7b (Sonc. ed., p. 36) the text reads ‘it is permitted to’. contend with the wicked, as it is stated, They that forsake the law praise the wicked; but such as keep the law contend with them.⁵⁷Prov. 28, 4. Should somebody whisper to you, ‘[But is it not written,] Contend not with evildoers, neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness?’⁵⁸Ps. 37, 1. E.V. fret not thyself because of evildoers. answer him, ‘Only he whose conscience pricks him⁵⁹lit. ‘whose heart knocks him’. So GRA in agreement with Ber. loc. cit. speaks thus. Contend not with evildoers means, to be like them; be not envious against them that work unrighteousness means, to emulate them’.
