"Doing righteous deeds is of the Lord. Rabbi Yitzhak said: All is in abundance. Righteous deeds in abundance. Doing righteous deeds is of the Lord. And forgiveness in abundance (Isaiah 55:7) And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. Redemption in abundance (Psalms 130:7) And with Him is abundant redemption. Rabbi Shmuel bar Nachman says: Even salvation, as it is said (Psalms 68:21) The Lord is to us a God of deliverances."
"He made righteousness for God. Rabbi Yitzhak said, 'Everything is in abundance. Righteousness is in abundance. He makes righteousness for God.' 'And forgiveness in abundance' (Isaiah 55:7) 'And with Him is abundant redemption' (Psalm 130:7). Rabbi Shmuel bar Nachman says, 'Even salvation, as it says (Psalm 68:21), "Our God is a God who saves."'" "God made known His ways to Moses. Rabbi Berechiah said in the name of Rabbi Abba bar Kahana, 'Moses said before the Holy One, blessed be He, "Please make known to me Your ways."' God said to him, 'You ask for My ways, but you will know My life. Make known His ways to Moses and His deeds to the children of Israel.' Not as it says (Deuteronomy 32:4), "His ways are justice. A God of faithfulness without iniquity, righteous and upright is He." Rabbi Shmuel bar Nachman said, 'He prolongs His spirit with the wicked and rewards them for the few good deeds they did in this world in order to destroy them. And He prolongs His spirit with the righteous and takes from them the few bad deeds they did in this world and returns them to tranquility.' Rabbi Abba said in the name of Rabbi Tanchum, 'He began to exact debts. Not to forever strive or perpetually bear a grudge. I no longer engage in strife and win or lose against them. I engaged in strife with the generation of the Flood, with the people of Sodom, and also with the people of the Tower of Babel, and I won and lost against them. And when Moses overcame me, I was appeased with my world. Be because I do not engage in strife forever.' As far as the east is from the west, He has distanced our transgressions from Him. Rabbi Yirmiyah said, 'Let a person not say, "May the Merciful One distance us from our sin," but rather, "May our sin be distanced from us." As it says, "As far as the east is from the west, He has distanced our transgressions from Him."' "
