(hence the expression “I have a gut feeling”), the heart imparts
understanding (to that thought), one’s tongue articulates it and
one’s mouth concludes it (Gemara Shabbat 33b).
[ 19 ] Whoever has an understanding heart can now ponder the
magnitude of this esur, that apart from the Torah addressing the
issue of one’s speech with many Laveen and Aseen, as I explained
in the Introduction to Sefer Chafetz Chayim, this person will also
invoke upon himself the curses of the Torah that are among the
twelve curses described in perashat Ki Tavoh, as the pasuk states
(Devarim 27:24) “Cursed is the one who secretly strikes his
fellow Jew,” a curse which evolves from the sin of Lashon Hara
as Rashi explains there. (Furthermore) The statement of Chazal
in Gemara Shvu’ot (36a) is well known, (this person invokes
upon himself an) “Arur” (a curse), a “Klalah” (a misfortune or
calamity), and a Niduy (an ostracism or excommunication). In
addition, each curse was preceded by an expression of blessings
to whoever would not transgress these commandments, as
Chazal have taught (Gemara Sotah 37b). Thus, it is especially
proper and very appropriate to be fearful of the Torah’s “arurim”
\ curses and to seek out those Berachot that enhance one’s wealth
and good things, as the pasuk states (Mishle 10:22) “It is (only)
Hashem’s blessings that will enrich.” However, the Yetzer Hara
blinds man’s eyes and he cannot see the truth.
[ 20 ] The Sifri relates the following in commenting on the
pasuk (Devarim 32:4) “A just Gd with no iniquity.” When man
passes on from this world, all of his deeds and actions assemble
before him and say – This is what you did on such-and-such a
day, and this person responds - “Yes.” They tell him to sign (to
validate the testimony describing his actions for that day), as
the pasuk states (Eyov 37:7) “The hand of each man will sign.”
He (Hashem) is “just and righteous” – that man will accept the
justice of his sentence and say: “You judged me correctly,” as the
pasuk relates (Tehilim 51:6) “therefore You are justified when
You speak, vindicated when You judge.”
In these forty statements we have presented to all the great
