God tests a person in order to then grant him importance and fame.

ג. עַל־יְדֵי הַמְּרִיבָה גּוֹרְמִים שֶׁהַתַּלְמִידִים הַקְּטַנִּים נִתְפַּרְסְמִים קדֶם זְמַנָּם. וְזֶהוּ בְּחִינַת הַפָּלַת נְפָלִים, שֶׁהַוָּלָד יוֹצֵא לַאֲוִיר עוֹלָם קדֶם זְמַנּוֹ, וְעַל־יְדֵי זֶה גּוֹרֵם עֲנִיּוּת וְלִפְעָמִים גּוֹרֵם מִיתוֹת חַס וְשָׁלוֹם.
