If so, do we find that the sinner profits?!

If so, it turns out that one who sinned or committed a crime benefits from the situation, and it should not be so, nor does it make sense that it should be!

("And God said: Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed. From here you learn that man was not permitted to eat meat? For the Holy One, blessed be He, did not create His creatures in order for them to die, for if Adam had not sinned, the creatures would not die. And if you ask, after Adam sinned, why was he not permitted to eat meat? If so, do we find that the sinner profits" - Midrash Aggadah (Buber), Genesis chapter 1)

Definition (Hebrew)

אִם כֵּן מִתְבָּרֵר שֶׁהַתּוֹצָאָה הִיא שֶׁמִּי שֶׁחָטָא אוֹ פֶּשַׁע יוֹצֵא מֻרְוָח מֵהָעִנְיָן, וְזֶה לֹא צָרִיךְ לִהְיוֹת כָּךְ, אוֹ אֵין זֶה הֶגְיוֹנִי שֶׁכָּךְ יִהְיֶה! (נִשְׂכָּר מַשְׁמָע מְקַבֵּל שָׂכָר)

("וְיֹאמַר אֱלֹהִים הֵנָּה נָתַתִּי לָכֶם אַתְּ כָּל עֵשֶׂב זוֹרֵעַ זֶרַע. מִכֵּן אַתָּה לִמֵּד שֶׁלֹּא הֻתַּר לְאָדָם לֶאֱכֹל בָּשָׂר? לְפִי שֶׁלֹּא בָּרָא הקב"ה בְּרִיּוֹתָיו עַל מְנַת שֶׁיָּמוּתוּ, שֶׁאִם לֹא חֵטְא אָדָם לֹא הָיוּ הַבְּרִיּוֹת מֵתִים. וְאִם תֹּאמַר, אַחֲרֵי שֶׁחָטָא אָדָם, לָמָּה לֹא הֻתַּר לוֹ לֶאֱכֹל בָּשָׂר? אִם כֵּן מָצִינוּ חוֹטֵא נִשְׂכָּר"- מִדְרַשׁ אַגָּדָה (בּוּבֶּר) בְּרֵאשִׁית פֶּרֶק א)
