Tosefta do Izajasza 3:11
א֖וֹי לְרָשָׁ֣ע רָ֑ע כִּֽי־גְמ֥וּל יָדָ֖יו יֵעָ֥שֶׂה לּֽוֹ׃
Biada niegodziwemu, źle mu się powiedzie, bo odpłata rąk jego oddana mu będzie!
Tosefta Peah
A good deed has immediate and future benefit, as it is stated (Isaiah 3:10), "Say ye of the righteous, that it shall be well with him, for they shall eat the fruit of their doings." A transgression has immediate damage but no future damage [for the transgressor], as it is stated (Isaiah 3:11), "Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for the work of his hands shall be done to him." How, then, am I to understand "[The wicked] shall eat of the fruit of their own way" (Proverbs 1:31)? Rather, when a transgression damages, it has immediate damage, and when it does not damage, it has no immediate damage.
