“Hashem is good to all; His mercies are on all His works
(Psalm 145:9).” In Perek Shira, Chapter 6, the scorpion voices
this thought: “G-D is good to all and His mercies are on all His works.”
Rav Kanievsky, Shlita, explains that the scorpion poses a great danger
such that all who see him hurry to kill him. Therefore, in order that the
species not die, G-D granted him the kindness that seventy scorpions are born at
one time. The scorpion acknowledges the gift that he has been
granted. Were it not for his multiparity, he would vanish from the
earth. To him, G-D is both merciful and good.
