And we find that in truth with these two characteristics the Master may He be blessed always affects, and He set these two in his rules the foundations of the world, 1 - the character of reward and punishment, it is the manner of the Good and negativity in one balance of merit and liability, and called this behavior the manner of justice, that the Holy One blessed is he sits and judges all the world according to their actions - the good and the bad.
And it comes with His justice - the character of his goodness which is according to the rule of His perfection, according to the manner of His rulership, for with his power he wishes to rectify all of his creations. And behold, according to the character of reward and punishment - the Holy One blessed is he, (as if it were possible), makes his actions subject to the actions of man, that if they are good He also does good for them, and if they are bad he is compelled, (as if that were possible), to punish them; and like the topic of the text (Psalms 68:35) "Give strength to G-d..."; and its opposite (Deuteronomy 32:18) "You neglect the Rock that bore you..."; and as they said may they be blessed (Eichah Rabbah 1:33), "At the time that Israel does the will of heaven - they add power to the strength above, and when they do not do the will of heaven - they weaken the strength above", G-d forbid, and according to his character of governance and rulership it says (Zechariah 3:9), "...and I will remove the transgression of that land in one day"; (Jeremiah 50:20), "The transgression of Israel shall be sought and not be and the sin of Judah and not be found".

But according to the wisdom of His goodness in the rule of his perfection may He be blessed - the common aspect to them, is to return everything - to complete goodness, to a complete rectification which will be in the end.
And regarding this it says (Malachi 3:6) I am G-d I have not changed". And in the madras of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai they said (Zohar ki Tetzei 281. and see there), "I shall not change in any place".
