כִּ֤י גֶֽחָלִ֗ים אַ֭תָּה חֹתֶ֣ה עַל־רֹאשׁ֑וֹ וַֽ֝יהוָ֗ה יְשַׁלֶּם־לָֽךְ׃
car ainsi tu attises des charbons sur sa tête, et le Seigneur t’en récompensera.
Likutei Moharan
Through a person elevating their fellow with merits, it is possible that their fellow will relent from their ways and change for the good, eliminating all future machloket. It is possible, too, however, that they will experience a downfall. This is because this process of finding merits in another can "be [like] scooping coals on his head." [Mishle 25:22].
