15.6 Makkos Daf 10 B (15 lines Dn)SummaryRabbah bar Rav Huna quoting Rav Huna and some say Rav Huna quoting Rabbi Elazar: A man is led in the way he desires to go. This is a principle taught in Torah, Nevi’im and Kesuvim _(it means, there are proofs wherever we look).__[This is not a contradiction to the concept that Haba litamei poschin lo, which seems to imply that one is not led to bad. Over there the emphasis is on Haba litaher misayin lo, which means that a very great help is given to one who wishes to be good, but one who desires evil is led towards it, but not helped]._This is evident from Torah: Where Hashem encouraged Bileam to go with Balak’s messengers _(the end result of course was that he was killed. But he was led very strongly, he received a nevuah!)._This is evident from Nevi’im: as the _possuk_ states “I teach you to accomplish _(good)_ and lead you in the path you wish to go _(even if it’s bad).”_This is evident from Kesuvim: as the _possuk_ states “He will help the arrogant to be scoffers and he will help the humble join those of good character”.
