GEN633 A human being, we find, is subject to diverse natural forces, is composed of divergent elements, possesses conflicting traits of character, and must adapt to changing circumstances.  Accordingly, his deeds are also diverse. They include the noble and the reprehensible, the corrupt and the just, the good and the evil. Hence the need for the restraining bonds of revealed law and the restrictions of the political order.  As for what is written in the Torah on this matter, Scriptural comments include the following: [This verse], “Every impulse of the thought of his heart was only for evil, all the time” Genesis 6:5; “A man is born a wild donkey” Job 11:12; “Behold, even the moon is not bright, the stars are not pure in His sight.  How much less man, a maggot” Job 25:5-6; How can he, born of mortal woman, be upright?” Job 25:4.  DUTIES 605
