Mga Sanggunian sa Talmud para sa Mga Kawikaan 3:4: Jerusalem Talmud Peah & Jerusalem Talmud Shekalim

Rebbi Jeremiah said that Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac asked: (Pr. 13:6) “Justice protects the one on the straight path but sin destroys the sinner.” (Pr. 13:21) “Evil deeds will pursue sinners but He will reward the just.” (Pr. 3:4) “While He makes scoffers targets of scoffing, He will bestow grace on the meek.” (1Sam. 2:9) “He will watch over the feet of His pious, but evildoers will be silent in the darkness.” (Pr. 3:35) “The wise will inherit honor, but shame will mark the stupid ones.” Fences are made fences and doors doors²¹¹A similar thought is expressed in Babli Shabbat 104a: “If somebody wants to live in sin, one opens for him the door [to sin] from Heaven; if he wants to live in purity, one helps him from Heaven.”. Rebbi Jeremiah in the name of Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac: If a person watches himself the first, second, and third times not to commit a sin, then in the future the Holy One, praise to Him, will watch over him. What is the reason? (Job 33:29) “All this God will do twice, three times, with a man.” Rebbi Zeïra said, but only if the person does not revert²¹²Change his ways from good to bad.. What is the reason? It does not say “The triple thread will never snap” but rather (Eccl. 4:12) “The triple thread will not quickly snap.” If you work on it, it will split.

Rebbi Ismael says, it was written in Greek, A, B, Γ. The disburser enters neither in trousers³²Rashi’s interpretation, Latin paragauda. Another interpretation: a long robe with wide cuffs (sources giben in Levy’s Dictionaty, vol. 4 col. 98b. Cf Arabic בֻּוגֻז). with pockets, nor with shoes³³The last two are sewn together; the seam could be opened and coins stuffed in there., nor with sandals, nor with phylacteries nor with an amulet³³The last two are sewn together; the seam could be opened and coins stuffed in there., lest he become poor and people would say, he became poor because he sinned in the lodge, or he became rich and people would say, he enriched himself from the money lifted from the lodge, for a person needs to be clean before people³⁴Rabbinic Hebrew distinguishes between בִּרְיָה “creature” and בְּרִיָּה “creation”. as he has to be clean before the Omnipresent, as it is said³⁵Num. 32:22., you have to be blameless before the Eternal and before Israel, and it says³⁶Prov. 3:4., find grace and understanding in the eyes of God and men.

Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman in the name of Rebbi Jonathan: In the Torah, in Prophets, and in Hagiographs we find that a person had to be innocent in the eyes of people just as he has to be innocent in the eyes of the Omnipresent.

Gamaliel the twin asked Rebbi Yose ben Rebbi Abun, which one is the clearest^52aB: The most stringent. of all of these? He answered him, you have to be blameless before the Eternal and before Israel.
