Commentary for Avodah Zarah 7:16
ולא והכתיב (יחזקאל כא, ח) והכרתי ממך צדיק ורשע בצדיק שאינו גמור
And God does not act in this manner? Is it not written, “And I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked” (Ezekiel 21:8)? That refers to one who is not thoroughly righteous.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Only Bilaam could determine precisely that one infinitesimally small moment when God’s anger is unleashed every day. Interestingly, while Bilaam is vilified, the rabbis do acknowledge him as a prophet.
