Musar do Hioba 16:8
וַֽ֭תִּקְמְטֵנִי לְעֵ֣ד הָיָ֑ה וַיָּ֥קָם בִּ֥י כַ֝חֲשִׁ֗י בְּפָנַ֥י יַעֲנֶֽה׃
Pochwyciłeś mnie, a to ma świadczyć przeciw mnie? Tak, występuje przeciw mnie własna niemoc moja, w oblicze moje oskarża mnie.
Kav HaYashar
That same person also expounded the verse, “And my leanness (or, my treachery) will rise up against me and bear witness to my face (or, upon my face)” (Iyov 16:8). The meaning of this verse is this: If a person sins and follows his heart’s desire, ignoring the fact that he must one day die and be made to reckon before the Creator of the Universe, when he is summoned to judgment all his iniquities are engraved upon his face. Then when all the higher and lower angels see that mark upon which all his sins are recorded, they curse him, saying, “Woe! Woe! When your day comes you will fall into the hands of the cruel, who will pour out upon you harsh and bitter punishments! All of a sudden your fortunes will take a turn for the worse. No one will have mercy upon you and no defender will speak on your behalf.” Holiness will distance itself from him and his defilement will increase until it overwhelms his entire body and clings to him. As long as that the mark caused by his iniquity is still upon his forehead, any child that his wife conceives will be brazen, violent and an informer, and he will refuse to heed rebuke. The Zohar says of such children that they are the wicked of the generation whose will the Master of the World fulfills in this world in order to destroy them in the World to Come. Concerning this Iyov said, “And my treachery will rise up against me and bear witness upon my face.”
