Kaisipang Hudyo sa Mga Awit 10:13: Derashot HaRan

עַל־מֶ֤ה ׀ נִאֵ֖ץ רָשָׁ֥ע ׀ אֱלֹהִ֑ים אָמַ֥ר בְּ֝לִבּ֗וֹ לֹ֣א תִּדְרֹֽשׁ׃

Bakit nilalapastangan ng masama ang Diyos, at sinasabi niya sa kanyang puso: “Hindi Ka maniningil”?

Derashot HaRan

And in this respect the wicked are divided into certain classes. There are some whose transgressions bring them to deny the Blessed One's existence. Of these it is written (Psalms 14:1): "The vile one says in his heart: 'There is no G-d.'" And there are some who are brought thereby to deny Divine Providence alone, as it is written (Ibid 10:13): "Why does the wicked man defy G-d, saying in his heart: 'You will not seek out'?" And there are others who are brought thereby to deny reward and punishment to assume that the Blessed One confers good upon the wicked as He does upon the good. This is the intent of Solomon's statement (Proverbs 26:9-10): "As a thorn picked up by the hand of a drunkard, so is a parable in the mouth of fools. The Master creates everything. He rewards the fool and He rewards the transgressors." That is, just as a drunkard standing among roses sometimes intends to pick a rose but "picks" a thorn instead, in the say way, the fool sometimes thinks to formulate beneficial, instructive parables, but instead of coming up with useful parables, he comes up with "thorny" painful ones instead. It is one of his pet sayings, for example, that the Blessed One, the Creator of everything, does not discriminate between the transgressors of His will and His servants — all men are equal to Him; He rewards them all, the fools and the transgressors of His mitzvoth. It is seen, then, that the thoughts born of transgressions are worse than the transgressions themselves. For the eating of forbidden fats is but one transgression, but the thought is the overturning of cornerstones of the Torah. Our sages stated similarly (Sotah 3a): "A man does not transgress unless there enters into him a spirit of folly." That is, he will not transgress without this folly being present within him — the intent to overturn the cornerstones of Torah.
