When G-d created the first human beings, G-d led them around the Garden
of Eden and said: "Look at my works! See how beautiful they are—how
excellent! For your sake I created them all. See to it that you do not spoil
and destroy My world; for if you do, there will be no one else to repair
it." (Midrash Kohelet Rabbah, 1, Ecclesiastes 7:13)
