Quoting%20commentary for Sukkah 92:1

מחזיק מלא אינו מחזיק אבל מדת הקב"ה מלא מחזיק ריקן אינו מחזיק שנא' (דברים כח, א) והיה אם שמוע תשמע וגו' אם שמוע תשמע ואם לאו לא תשמע ד"א אם שמוע בישן תשמע בחדש (דברים ל, יז) ואם יפנה לבבך שוב לא תשמע:

is able to contain [what is put into it], and a full vessel cannot contain it but according to the ways of the Holy One, blessed be He, a full vessel is able to contain it while an empty one cannot; as it is said, “And it shall come to pass, if listening you shall listen” (Deuteronomy 28:8): if you listen, you will continue to listen, but if not, you will not listen. Another interpretation: If you will listen to the old, you will be able to listen to the new,” but if you turn your heart away, you will no longer listen” (Deuteronomy 30:17).
