Talmud do Jeremiasza 12:11

We have learnt there:⁴³Sanh. 71b (Sonc. ed., p. 488). The assembling of the righteous benefits themselves and the world; the scattering of the righteous harms them and the world. The assembling of the wicked harms themselves and the world; the scattering of the wicked benefits them and the world.⁴⁴Because they are no longer able to join together for evil. When the wicked are uprooted from the world, good comes to the world, as it is stated, And when the wicked perish, there is joy.⁴⁵Prov. 11, 10. When the righteous depart from the world, evil comes to the world, as it is stated, The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart.⁴⁶Isa. 57, 1. Raba said: Do not say that [this refers only] to the men of his generation who knew him but to the whole world; for it is written. And no man layeth it to heart, and it is written there, The whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart.⁴⁷Jer. 12, 11. Raba also said: The righteous depart from this world for the sin of neglecting [the study of] the Torah, as it is written, And this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.⁴⁸Deut. 4, 44. Higger suggests that the homily is based on the juxtaposition of verses 41-43, which deal with the setting aside of Cities of Refuge for those who killed by accident.
