With regard to this, he declares that God has prepared judgments for the arrogant (Proverbs 19:29) and that He knows their deeds; there is no darkness in which they can hide from His retribution. But it is not for man to inquire why they are punished secretly and not by a revealed miracle, nor to teach God how and in what manner to punish them. For in His wisdom, He wants to punish them in secret in order that there be some doubt as to whether the punishment comes from Him, thus leaving room for choice. Furthermore, at times they [the wicked] are themselves the agents of His Providence, the rod of His anger, (Isaiah 10:5) afflicting mankind for its evil deeds. Hence, not only does He not wipe them out, He even endows them with the strength and authority to destroy and exterminate multitudes, until they have carried out His work: to afflict peoples (Psalms 94:10) and prove nations. Then will He smash the rod and the staff of evil will be cut down. And it should suffice us to know that the Holy One Blessed be He is slow to anger, but eventually He collects what is His. And whoever says that the Holy One Blessed be He is one who waives the rules...11Bereshit Rabbah 67.4. The sentence concludes: 'let him waive a bout of diarrhea!'
