Sinner/ transgressor

Sinner/ transgressor

A person who sins or one who commits a transgression. A person who performs transgressions.

(Thus in the future to come, the Holy One Blessed Be He is filled with wrath against the transgressors; therefore it is said: 'and He will not have mercy on the day of vengeance' - Midrash Mishlei (Buber) Parashah 6. And also: 'For a transgressor is insane,' as our Rabbis, of blessed memory, said (Sotah 3a): 'No man commits a transgression except that a spirit of folly enters him' - Rabbi Nachman of Breslov / Likkutei Moharan, Torah 1. And also: 'Indeed, there have not been many days between the two sides, that is to say between the father, the transgressor, and the police officers who guard the law, normal mercies were sealed' - Byalik / The Trumpet was Ashamed, A 111. And also: 'If you had known that I am a transgressor, surely you would not have given me your wine and your delicacies' - Agnon / Yesterday, the Day Before, 165.)
