0:56They need to understand this. There's no such thing as suffering without sin. But it's not just sin by him. So, let's say you find out one day, chas v'shalom, a guy finds out he's very sick. Finds out he's very sick. Has one of these diseases that doesn't go away. Of course, he's suffering. But everybody else is suffering also. The mother, the father, the brothers, the sisters, the friends, the teachers, the students, the co-workers. All these people are also suffering. My friend is dying. My friend is this. Everybody's suffering. What is Hashem telling you here? They all deserve it also. It's not just him. Everyone deserves it. Everyone made some type of sin to deserve the punishment that they're getting. No such thing as suffering without sin. This is the real truth. Why? Because if someone did not deserve it, out of the entire circle, you have one guy that's suffering, has a decree on him to get a disease, chas v'shalom, get a disease. There's a decree in shamayim. His circle is 50 people.
2:12There's one guy out of the 50. There are 49 reshaim—49 wicked people—and one tzaddik. One guy, mamash, amazing. Hashem loves him. An amazing righteous person. Doesn't deserve the suffering. Just for him, Hashem wouldn't punish this guy. Just for him, just for him — just for the guy that's righteous, not for the wicked guy that deserves the decree; just for the guy, for the tzaddik, that he knows. He would hear, "Oh yeah, my friend from college, my friend from the yeshiva before I did teshuva, my friend from kindergarten, my neighbor, my brother — chas v'shalom, anything — somebody that's connected to me suffering, I'm gonna suffer. I don't deserve suffering; Hashem says I don't deserve suffering." Just for that tzaddik. He won't suffer. That's how perfect Hashem is. This means that everyone involved in a story, there's a reason why Hashem is afflicting them with this suffering. Sometimes, all of the time, it's to their benefit. Because it's better to suffer here for 70 years, like Iyov (Job) suffered, than one hour in Gehenom. Rabbi, it says if someone is suffering, they should check their actions.
3:29Of course, it's if there's no suffering without sin.
