The Holy One Blessed Be He created the evil inclination - He created for it the Torah as a remedy

The Holy One Blessed Be He, who created the evil inclination, also created the Torah as a tool to cope against the evil inclination ("tablin" signifies remedy).

("The Holy One Blessed Be He created the evil inclination, He created for it the Torah as a remedy" - Bava Batra 16a, and similarly: "Thus the Holy One Blessed Be He created the evil inclination. He created for it the Torah as a remedy. Whoever engages in Torah is not given over into its hand, and therefore anyone whom his inclination attacks and tries to harm, he should pull him to the house of study; if he is iron he will shatter, and if he is stone he will melt." - Beit HaBechirah by Meiri, Tractate Kiddushin 30b)
