[ 3 ] {Awareness} One who does not accept upon himself the רוּבִּדּ אוּה הַמ ַעדֵוֹי וֹניֵאְו ,דֹאְמ טוּשָׁפּ שׁיִא אוּהֶשׁ וֹא
obligation to discipline his speech, even though every intelligent
person would conclude that most certainly he would fall into רֹמְשִׁל זרֵָזְל ךְירִָצ יאַדַּוְבּ וֹמְצַע תֶא םָדָאָה לָבֲא .רוּסָאָה
sin because of the many words spoken throughout the day. This לַע ,םוֹלָשְׁו סַח ,הֶיְהִיְו ,רקְֵפֶהְכּ הֶיְהִי אלֶֹּשׁ ,וֹנוֹשְׁלוּ ויִפּ
person will also not remember to do Teshuvah for what he has
said and will not accept upon himself that going forward he will ךְירִָצ דַבְלִבּ הֶז םוּשִּׁמוּ .ךְרַָבְּתִי 'ה יֵניֵעְבּ עָשׁרְָכּ הֶז ידְֵי
not to fall into these sins, since that awareness is the very essence .הרָיִמְשַּׁה תַבוֹח וֹמְצַע לַע לֵבּקְַל בָבְּלִנַּה שׁיִאָה
of Teshuvah. The pasuk describes this as (Yeshayah 55:7) “the
evil one should give up that lifestyle…and then will return to
Hashem.” Even if this person recites “We have sinned” (in the ,רֵחַא םוֹקָמְבּ יִתְּבַתָכֶּשׁ ,רָבָדּ ה ֹּפ קיִתְּעַהְל יִתּרְַמָא דוֹע
vidduy) and “We have spoken slanderously \ hypocritically,” םָלוֹעָה הָמ לַע :):ט"יק תָבַּשׁ( ל"ַזֲח וּרְמָא .וּנֵנָיְנִעְל ךְָיַּשְׁו
he does not (cannot) recall them (all of the words of forbidden
language that he spoke) and so he does not at all accept the רַמָא .ןָבּרַ תיֵבּ לֶשׁ תוֹקוֹניִתּ לֶשׁ םֶהיִפּ לֶבֶה לַע ?םָיּקַ
obligation to be careful to avoid them. However, when one accepts רַמָא ?)וּהַמ ךְָלֶּשְׁו יִלֶּשׁ( יאַמ ךְָדידְִו ידִיִדּ :אָברְָל יֵיַּבַּא הֵּל
the responsibility of disciplined speech, even if subsequently he
should mistakenly fall into a sin, the damage will be minimal and ןיֵאֶשׁ ,ויִפּ לֶבֶהְל ,אְטֵח וֹבּ שֵׁיֶּשׁ ,ויִפּ לֶבֶה הֶמוֹדּ וֹניֵא :הֵּל
he will know how to implement Teshuvah.

[ 4 ] {Habit} Because of man’s force of habit, he will ערָָה ןוֹשָׁל יאַדַּוְבּ הָיָה אלֹ םָלְצֶאְו ,ןֶגֹהַכּ 'ה םֵשְׁל םָדוּמִּל
unintentionally, repeatedly relate the degradation of his fellow
man or verbally oppress him (and so on for all other categories הֶזיֵא יאַדַּוְבּ םִא יִכּ ,שָׁמַּמ םירִוּסֲא םירִוּבִּדּ רָאְשׁוּ תוּליִכרְוּ
of speech). This unintentional speech also has included within וּלְשְׁכִנ םיִמָעְפִלֶּשׁ הֶזָבְדּ ,וּרְמָא יִכָה וּלִּפֲא ,קָבָאְדּ קָבָא
it the categories of Lashon Hara and abusive language, as was
explained in the Introduction to Sefer Chafetz Chayim in the ,םֶהיִפּ לֶבֶה םָלְצֶא לקְֵלקְַתִנ ,קָבָאְדּ קָבָאְבּ םֶהיֵיַּח יֵמיִבּ
Aseh of “Remember,” and in the words of the Rambam and in .ךְָכּ לָכּ הָשׁוֹדקְ הָּניֵא םָתרָוֹתְו
the Ramban. (Please see those references). But that would not
be the case if he had accepted upon himself the responsibility to סָנַּנְכּ םָדוּמִּל יֵבַּגְל וּנדֵוּמִּל תַשּׁדְֻקֶּשׁ וּנְחַנֲא אָליֵמִּמוּ
discipline his speech, he would not have come to this. And if
occasionally he did come to this point, he will be sensitive to the תוּליִכרְוּ ערָָה ןוֹשָׁלְבּ וּניִפּ תֶא אֵמַּטְנ דוֹע םִא ,קָנֲע יֵבַּגְל
words he spoke and he would seek to correct any wrongs.

[ 5 ] {Social gatherings} It is very well known and commonplace לָכּ יִכּ .הרָיִמְשַּׁה תַבוֹח וֹמְצַע לַע לֵבּקְַמַה תַלֲעַמ הָלוֹדְגּ
that everywhere people gather together to speak, everyone says
whatever they want. It does not even occur to them at all to םירִוּבִּדּ רֵבּדְַלִּמ וֹרוּבִּדּ לַע וֹלְצֶא הרָיִמְשׁ ףֵסוֹתִּתֶּשׁ הַמ

During the course of an hour, it is likely that every form of
forbidden speech will be spoken. All of these words ascend On .רֵבּדְַמ אוּהֶשׁ הָשּׁדֻקְ
