ציטירנדיקער פּירוש אויף קהלת 8:13

וְטוֹב֙ לֹֽא־יִהְיֶ֣ה לָֽרָשָׁ֔ע וְלֹֽא־יַאֲרִ֥יךְ יָמִ֖ים כַּצֵּ֑ל אֲשֶׁ֛ר אֵינֶ֥נּוּ יָרֵ֖א מִלִּפְנֵ֥י אֱלֹהִֽים׃

און דעם רָשע װעט זײַן ניט גוט, און אַזױ װי אַ שאָטן װעט ער ניט מאריך-ימים זײַן, װײַל ער האָט ניט מורא פֿאַר גאָט.

And in Midrash Tanchuma (Leviticus 10:7), Rabbi Yitzchak said: The wicked have no goodness in this world, as it is said, And there will be no good for the wicked (Ecclesiastes 8:13). They challenged this: But it is written when the king’s heart was good [ketov] with wine! He replied to them: It does not say “good” [tov] but rather like good [ketov] — appearing good but not truly good. However, regarding Israel it is written (1 Kings 8:66), And they went to their tents joyful and good of heart for all the goodness. This aligns with our point that the wicked, despite all the great goodness they receive, it appears to them as good but is not truly good, as if they are still lacking. But regarding the righteous it is written for all the goodness, because they always feel that they have everything. Therefore Jacob said because God has been gracious to me and because I have everything. Some say that here Esau acknowledged Jacob’s blessings saying I have plenty [rav] — meaning “I acknowledge that you are my master [rav] and I am the servant, and if so, what can you give me? For whatever a servant acquires belongs to his master.”
