Musar sobre Pirkei Avot 4:19
שְׁמוּאֵל הַקָּטָן אוֹמֵר, (משלי כד) בִּנְפֹל אוֹיִבְךָ אַל תִּשְׂמָח וּבִכָּשְׁלוֹ אַל יָגֵל לִבֶּךָ, פֶּן יִרְאֶה ה' וְרַע בְּעֵינָיו וְהֵשִׁיב מֵעָלָיו אַפּוֹ:
Shmuel Hakatan dice: "Cuando tu enemigo caiga no te regocijes, y cuando tropiece, no se alegre tu corazón" [Este es un versículo en Proverbios (24:17), pero Shmuel Hakatan solía reprender a los hombres con él], (18): "Para que el Señor no vea, y sea malo en sus ojos [que en tu corazón lo hayas hecho como tu mensajero para satisfacer tu lujuria] y que aleje su ira de él". [Dado que no está escrito "veshav" (y se arrepentirá a sí mismo ") sino" veheshiv "(" y se volverá "), la implicación es que lo convertirá de tu enemigo a ti.]
Shenei Luchot HaBerit
When G–d spoke of the Israelites being His witnesses in Isaiah 43,10, this was an allusion to the good G–d will perform for the Jewish people in the days of the Messiah when He will renew the covenant with us -one that will never be severed- and one which will symbolise that Israel has been totally refined, both the patriarchs and their descendants. At that time the השגחה will be based on the Israelites being צדיקים בני צדיקים, righteous people descended from righteous people. Our sages have stated in Avot 4,19: "Nothing is in our hands: we can neither explain the prosperity of the lawless nor the sufferings of the righteous."
