Who Is a Teacher Like Him Who Shows Sinners How to Return

Pesikta DeRav Kahana 24:6

Curated by Arthur·Told by Maggid·

"Behold, God is exalted in His power; who is a teacher like Him?" (Job 36:22). Rabbi Berekhiah said: it is a Greek expression, as you would say, "He is our God." "Exalted in His power" -- for He gives strength to the righteous who do His will. "Who is a teacher like Him" -- to sinners, that they should make repentance. Therefore Hosea warns Israel and says to them, "Return, O Israel" (Hosea 14:2).
