Commentary for Proverbs 20:20

מְ֭קַלֵּל אָבִ֣יו וְאִמּ֑וֹ יִֽדְעַ֥ךְ נֵ֝ר֗וֹ באישון [בֶּאֱשׁ֥וּן] חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃

Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in the blackest darkness.

Rashi on Proverbs

If one curses...his lamp will flicker in the blackest darkness When the darkness becomes blacker and blacker—when evil befalls him.
