Kabbalah for Avodah Zarah 33:8
(משלי ב, יט) כל באיה לא ישובון ולא ישיגו אורחות חיים וכי מאחר שלא שבו היכן ישיגו ה"ק ואם ישובו לא ישיגו אורחות חיים
Scripture says, “None that go to her return neither do they attain the paths of life” (Proverbs 2:19). But if they do not return, how could they attain [the paths of life]? This is what it means: Even if they do turn away from it they will not attain the paths of life.
Reshit Chokhmah
The wise Rav Yehuda Chagluah also wrote in his book ‘Tzafenat Pa’aneach’ that when it says that there is no Teshuva for him it means that his Teshuva is very difficult, and it is not enough for him to do Teshuva since he needs much infliction. And he does not have Teshuva means if he does not do all that is required for him to do. It is like what the sages teach about the verse “None that go unto her return, neither do they attain unto the paths of life” (Proverbs 2:19), which refers to a Non-believer that it is difficult for him to leave his ways.
