Tosefta do Psalmów 37:21

1:7 If the festival passes and one has not offered a festal-offering, there is no requirement to make up for it. As per Qohelet 1:16, "That which is crooked cannot be made straight, and that which is wanting cannot be reckoned." As Psalms 37:21 also says, "The wicked borrows and cannot pay back, but the righteous is generous and gives.” R. Simeon b. Menassia adds, if a man steals or robs, he can restore what was stolen or taken. But, if a man deceitfully sleeps with a married woman, ruining her marriage, his torment is unbearable and he's driven from the world. For him, the aforementioned verse from Qohelet applies.

1:8 R. Simeon b. Yoḥai maintains that we shouldn't waste time checking if an already flawed animal, such as a camel or a pig, has a blemish. Instead, we should focus on the flawless ones. A disciple of a sage who turns away from the Torah would be considered in this category and is referred to in Qohelet 1:15, 'That which is crooked cannot be made straight,' and Psalms 37:21, 'The wicked borrows and does not pay back.' As R. Judah reaffirms, with Jeremiah 2:5 as reference, for those who stray, they embrace worthlessness and tend to mirror it.

[If one of the three] pilgrimage festivals passed and one did not bring a Festival offering, he is not liable to bring it (Chag. 1:6), as it says (Ecc. 1:15), "What is crooked cannot be made straight [and what is lacking cannot be reckoned]." Rabbi Shimon ben Manasya says, he who steals from a person is able to return what he has stolen, [and] one who robs can return what he has robbed, [but] one who has sexual relations with a man's wife and [thereby] renders her forbidden is banished and departs from this world, and about this [person] it is said, "What is crooked cannot be made straight." Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai says, we do not say, "Inspect this camel lest it have a blemish!" [or] "Inspect [this] pig, lest it have blemish!" (since camels and pigs can never be "made straight," i.e., fit for sacrifice). Rather, we only inspect [kosher animals that are potentially] fit [for sacrifice]. And what is this [thing that cannot be made straight]? A Torah scholar who separated himself from the Torah, and about him it is said, "What is crooked cannot be made straight," and moreover it says (Ps. 37:21), "The wicked borrows and does not repay." Rabbi Yehuda ben Lakish says about him (i.e., a wayward Torah scholar), it says (Prov. 27:8), "Like a bird that wanders from its nest, [so too is a man who wanders from his home]," and moreover (Jer. 2:5), "What wrong did your fathers find in Me that they distanced themselves from Me, etc."
