410) For the Creator’s love for Israel—His lot and His share—no other considers their Dinim [judgments] but He. And when He considers their Dinim, He is filled with mercy over them as a father is merciful toward his sons, as it is written, “As a father is compassionate for his children, The Lord has compassion.” And if He finds that they have iniquities, He pardons them all until no iniquities remain over them—to give governance to the Sitra Achra—for which they could be judged.
411) They came to sin before Him as in the beginning, the first sins, which He already pardoned, and He reconsiders them. This is why it is written, “Do not remember the iniquities of our forefathers against us; let Your compassion come quickly to meet us.” If Your mercy does not come quickly to meet Israel, they will not be able to persist in the world, since several litigants of harsh Din stand and slander Israel above, and if the Creator had not brought Rachamim [mercy] over Israel first, before He noticed their Din, they would not be able to persist in the world. This is why it is written, “Let Your compassion come quickly to meet us, for we are very poor,” poor in good deeds, poor in upright deeds.
412) Had Israel gathered good deeds before the Creator, the idol worshipping nations would never have risen against them. But Israel cause the rest of the nations to raise their heads in the world, for if Israel had not sinned before the Creator, the rest of the idol worshipping nations would have surrendered before them.
413) If Israel had not extended bad deeds to the other side in the land of Israel, the rest of the idol worshipping nations would not have ruled in the land of Israel and they would not be exiled from the land. It is written about that, “For we are very poor” because we have no good deeds as we should.
