DEUT1612 ... a human being’s actions are entrusted to him. He chooses them as he pleases; They spring from his will and free choice. Accordingly, he is subject to reward and punishment for obedience and for transgression respectively, as it says: “See, I set before you this day life and good, death and evil” (Devarim 30:15); “Choose life” (ibid. 30:19); “This is your own doing” (Malachi 1:9); “For according to man's acts He pays him” (Iyov 34:11); “A man's folly warps his way” (Mishlei 19:3). All that is in our literature on the Torah, the commandments, and proper conduct confirms this; also what is mentioned in it regarding reward for obedience and punishment for transgression--all this indicates that a man's actions are entrusted to him, and that the Divine Glory is free from responsibility for his good or for his evil, for his righteous or corrupt actions.
