אם ראית רשע שהשעה משחקת לו

‘If you see a wicked person for whom the hour is smiling, 
do not provoke him’, 
because he is destined for the depth of hell, 
of which it is stated: (Ḥab. 1:13) *... the one more righteous than he,*it swallows,

לב מבין 
לב יודע 
לב רואה. 
לב איהו שכינתא 
דלא נטלא אלא דמא צח 
דאיהי קרבנא דצלותא 
נקיה בלא חובין ובלא פסולת 
וקריבת לגבי בעלה שופרא דכלא.

**Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024:**
The heart understands, 
the heart knows, 
the heart sees. 
The heart is the Shekhinah, 
which takes only the pure blood, 
which is the offering of prayer, 
clean, without sin and without refuse, 
and She offers to Her husband the best of everything.

[Tikkunei Zohar 49b:3](https://torahapp.org/share/book/Tikkunei%20Zohar/r/49b:3)

אבל יותרת הכבד 
לא יהיבת לבעלה 
אלא שיורין ופסולת. 
ומאי ניהו דעלה. 
(טחול) (ס״א כבד) 
אל אחר. 
ומאלין שיורין דנטיל מנה 
אתעביד דם טחול חשוך ואוכמא 
הוא נחש רמאי 
דפתי לחוה דאיהי לבא 
וגרם לה מותא.

**Tiqqunei ha-Zohar, trans. by David Solomon. Margalya Press; Melbourne, 2024:**
But the extra lobe of the liver, 
does not give to her husband anything, 
except ‘left-overs’ and refuse. 
And what is it that is ‘upon her?’ or: is ‘her husband?’ 
[spleen] [Var. liver] 
– symbolised by ‘another god’, 
and from these left-overs that he takes from her, 
the blood of the spleen is made dark and blackened. 
It is the deceptive snake, 
which seduced Eve, who is the heart, 
and caused her death.
