 punishment from this person commensurate with the evil he did,    ד"סב
 nor does the entire world have the ability to punish him is a way
 that is appropriate to his deeds.  The sin of a habitual speaker of
 Lashon Hara extends from the earth up to the Heavens.  Rather,
 first send your arrows On High and afterwards he (the sinner)
 will endure coals of burning charcoal from Below.”   Similarly,
 Chazal have written this idea in Gemara Arachin (15b)

 [ 4 ] For every forbidden word, he will have to give a reckoning   9  In loving memory of
 and an accounting, as Chazal have said (Gemara Chagigah 5b)
 in their commentary on the pasuk (Amos 4:13) “They tell man   David I. Shamah  A”H
 (“they”  play  back  to  man)  his  conversations,”  even  the  most   and
 innocuous conversations between husband and wife will be told
 to him during the time he is judged.  Irving Misry A”H

 [ 5 ]  On occasion, by virtue of opening his mouth (inappropriately)
 man can lose his entire share in Olam Haba, as Chazal have taught   With love
 (Avot 3:11) [Gemara Babba Metziah 59b] “One who publicly   Ruby and David I. Shamah
 embarrasses his fellow Jew has no share in Olam Haba.
                                     and family
 [  6  ]  By  virtue  of  the  forbidden  words  he  speaks,  a  Spirit  of
 Defilement will envelop his lips, as Yeshaya writes (6:5) “because
 I am a man with an impure mouth.”  Moreover, this spirit of          
 defilement will extend up to this person’s head, and the proof
 to this is (from a pasuk in the Torah - Vayikrah 14:18) at the
 time the Mehtzora is becoming purified, the pasuk states “and
 the residual oil on the hands of the Kohein who is performing   תמשנ יוליעל
 the purification shall be placed on the head of the Mehtzorah.”
 We do not find this regarding any other sinner, that his head must   ה"ע םירמ תב המחור
 also be purified.

 [ 7 ]  Whoever speaks Lashon Hara is as if he repudiates Gd, as
 the pasuk states (Tehilim 12:5) “those who say because of our
 tongues we will win, our lips are with us, no one can be master
 over us.”
 [ 8 ]  Whoever speaks Lashon Hara amplifies his sin (to a point
 where it is) comparable to three (cardinal) sins of idol worship,
 forbidden relations (egs., adultery) and murder.  (The comparison
