Don't Stare at a Wicked Person | Pele Yoetz | Hachzek Day 41
We're back. We continue. Pela Yoites. I hope you're doing fantastic. Let's jump right in. We continue and complete today the section of Khanufah or Khanifa flattery. Um, we're discussing when it's applicable, when it's not. So here we are. The second situation, as it relates to flattery, is bitter, it's evil. And it's talking about somebody, to somebody who says to an evildoer, he says, Yeah, you're good. And if a person's able to be Moikiach, he's able to give rebuke, but he doesn't. That's flattery. It's like he's agreeing to the evil. He's also over on the Isr of a flattery. Somebody who's pure, somebody who has fear of the Lord. Doesn't matter if somebody is rich or poor, that's not gonna make so much of a difference. He's not gonna have pity upon himself and thinking, oh, I'm gonna lose my honor or benefit. This is different than what we described yesterday when we said that a person should give a certain level of covot as it relates to a wealthy person. Here it's talking about something else. Whoever increases Kavit Shemayim, his own honor will be increased with shaloluyeksar, and he will not lack riches. Vishak arriveka shafer yorim, a person should be like a lion that roars, or like a shofar that wails. Does a shofar wail? Or wail? I don't know. Okay, a shofar that calls out, kolulimchos bamish, and meaning be confident enough to hold your ground, to hold the ground of the Ibanish, and to realize you're an ambassador and that it matters. And if somebody's doing something bad, that that matters. And don't say if somebody's doing ra, say toivata, you're doing good. No. He talks about this in the section of Tekach. Uh Siv, it says in Mishlay, those who keep the Torah will challenge a person. I will hate your enemies. Favoring the wicked man is not a good thing. A person should not look, he should not stare at the face of a wicked man called Shumafursum Shumosa Bala Veres Biad Rama Bifarasa. We're talking about somebody who's especially wicked that they do certain things in public. At the very least, he should flee and run away from that person who's evil. If a Loysa Panavlo Yachlo Kova he shouldn't give him honor, Velo Yogramu, he shouldn't even be afraid of him. If Loyitzaban also shouldn't uh want his to you know to get benefit from him. Rakya Niv Zabin Nimas, you should look at him with deign, with discoloration, with disgust, via Cashem, Yihabed. He should fear those, he should honor those who fear God. At the end of the day, flattery, it's part of like the human psychology. It's very difficult to stay away from it, to stay completely cleansed. We should be like a lion. This is like his second or third or reference to like a lion here, at least in the section of Khanifa. Vyasa Tavya Yashab, do what is just, ahim ano yasha bay nayashim chasimada. Even if it's not upright in the eyes of the boorish people, you know, meaning people the people not boorish, meaning I meant to do this on the upright, meaning people. If you're doing something that's upright, but people say, hey, you're doing something silly. No, you know, you have to have a strong conviction that this is what God wants, and I care what they think. You should do that which is justice according to the terracem, and mirteshem Akurdishparko will help you out. That concludes today's section. Tomorrow Mirthashem will continue with the os chess with the letter chess and a new topic called Kiddush Torah novelties. See you then.
