Core Text — Shabbos 88a
אָמַר לֵיהּ הַהוּא צְדוֹקִי לְרָבָא: עַמָּא פְּזִיזָא, דְּקַדְמִיתוּ פּוּמַיְיכוּ לְאוּדְנַיְיכוּ, אַכְתּוּ אִית לְכוּ אַפְּסוֹדֵי? בְּרִישָׁא אִיבְּעִי לְכוּ לְמִשְׁמַע אִי מְצִיתוּ קַבִּילִיתוּ, וְאִי לָא — לָא קַבִּילִיתוּ. אֲמַר לֵיהּ: אֲנַן דְּסָגִינַן בִּשְׁלֵימוּתָא, כְּתִיב בָּן: ״תֻּמַּת יְשָׁרִים תַּנְחֵם״.

English: A sectarian called Israel rash for saying “we will do” before “we will hear,” arguing they should first have heard the commandments and accepted them only if able to fulfill them. Rava answered that Israel proceeded with wholehearted trust, as Scripture says, “The integrity of the upright guides them.”
