DEUT64 Being the partner of God in daily recreating the universe by acting justly and correcting the violation of justice by others has its dangers as well as its opportunities. The self-confident are in danger of becoming self-righteously arrogant and exercising power for their own aggrandizement. "Howbeit he meaneth not so, neither doth his heart think so; but it is his heart to destroy and cut off nations not a few" (Isaiah 10:7). The humble, on the other hand, are constantly beset by doubts regarding their ability to judge what justice may require of them. As safeguard against both pitfalls, humility and arrogance, Judaism teaches that God has given us the Torah "whose statutes and commandments" are righteous [this verse].
