Core Text
אָמַר רַבִּי חֲנִינָא, כָּל הָאוֹמֵר הַקָּבָּ״ה וַתְרָן – יוּתְרוּ חַיָּיו, שֶׁנֶּאֱמַר הַצּוּר תָּמִים פָּעֳלוֹ כִּי כָל דְּרָכָיו מִשְׁפָּט

English: Rabbi Chanina said: Anyone who says that the Holy One is a “vatran” (one who casually overlooks), let his life be forfeit, as it is said “The Rock, His work is perfect, for all His ways are justice.”

The classical source expands or derives a specific point from the language of the passuk. The Core Text above is the relevant region of interest.

Type of Learning

Custom (A strict affirmation of divine justice derived from the description of Hashem as the perfect Rock.)

What Is Learned

The verse leaves no room for the claim that Hashem simply overlooks wrongdoing. Every path is justice. The derasha therefore rejects any theology that would encourage a person to sin while relying on divine leniency.
