A few quotes from the Rabbi on 'Redemption of Israel'
in which he preaches to be charitable in the very ruling of judgement, displaying the same attribute as "He will show him wondrous deeds"
"Observe what is right and do what is just; For soon My salvation shall come, And my justice be revealed." Judgement is to be charitable, and delivered within the rule of the law, displaying the same attribute as "For soon My salvation shall come and my deliverance be revealed", even as it is repeated a second time, and the ruling of the law allows that its being redeemed [the promise] not be definite.
In any case, "My justice [is to] be revealed" in the teachings of justice and charity… Here is what was actually said about the future redemption: "I will show him wondrous deeds, As in the days when You sallied forth from the land of Egypt". Our Sages said in the Mechilta, "I will show the sons what I have not shown the fathers" – who will certainly not benefit from this measure, unless they make judgement itself a charitable act, meaning judgement within the rule of the law, in which case "He will show him wonders" – more than in the redemption from Egypt.
