קבלה אויף איוב 2:3

R. Judah replied: ‘Indeed, thou speakest truth! But it is also written that Satan said: “But put forth thine hand and touch his bone and his flesh”, and that the Holy One Himself said to Satan, “And thou movest me against him” (Job 2, 3-4); which proves that permission was given to the powers of the “other side” that they might so rise up against man on account of the deeds he had done in this world. And in all this the ways of the Holy One are hidden, and it is beyond me to follow them, for these are the statutes of the Holy One, which men must not examine too closely, save those who walk in the way of wisdom and so are in truth worthy to penetrate into the veiled paths of the Torah, and to comprehend the hidden truths contains therein.’

as it says concerning those who built the Tower of Babel: “And the Lord, came down to see” (Gen. 11, 5.); also in connection with Sodom and Gomorra: “I will go down now and see” (Ibid. 18, 21); for the Holy One would not rest satisfied to condemn the world to perdition merely on the strength of the word of Satan, who is the great accuser and whose only desire is to destroy the world.
