Commentary for Kiddushin 60:7

ואמר ר"ש בן לוי יצרו של אדם מתגבר עליו בכל יום ומבקש המיתו שנאמר (תהלים לז, לב) צופה רשע לצדיק ומבקש להמיתו ואלמלא הקב"ה עוזרו אין יכול לו שנאמר אלהים לא יעזבנו בידו

Moreover, he is altogether preoccupied with thee [to make thee sin], for it is said, and unto thee shall be his desire.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid.');"><sup>16</sup></span> Yet if thou wilt, thou canst rule over him, for it said, and thou shalt rule over him.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Ibid.');"><sup>16</sup></span> Our Rabbis taught: The Evil Desire is hard [to bear], since even his Creator called him evil, as it is writt for that the desire of man's heart is evil from his youth.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Gen. VIII, 21.');"><sup>17</sup></span>
