שֹׁמֵ֣ר פְּתָאיִ֣ם יְהֹוָ֑ה דַּ֝לּוֹתִ֗י וְלִ֣י יְהוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃
Господь хранит простое; Я был унижен, и Он спас меня.
Jerusalem Talmud Berakhot
Rebbi Aḥa said, “Who is it that has been connected71Rebbi Aḥa explains the verse such as it is written, who is the one who is connected to God and the future world? Every human, as long as he is alive, has this possibility. The paragraph is inserted here because the verse was mentioned.?” Even those that stretched out their arms against the Sanctuary72Tried to destroy the Temple or helped in destroying it. By necessity, these are Gentiles. have certitude. It is impossible to bring them near since they stretched out their arms against the Sanctuary. It is impossible to keep them far since they repented. On them it says (Jer. 51:39): “They will sleep eternal sleep and never awake.” The rabbis of Caesarea say, Gentile minors73Who, as minors, are incapable of sin, but who, growing up as idolators, cannot have merit.

In Tosephta Sanhedrin 13:5 it is said that “for those who stretched out their arms against the Sanctuary, the gates of hell will be locked and they will be punished there for all eternity.” It is explained here that this is valid only if they did not repent. will not live, but never will they be judged. On them Scripture says: “They will sleep eternal sleep, etc.”
