Demi nama-Ku Aku menahan amarah-Ku, dan demi pujian-Ku Aku mengekang murka-Ku terhadapmu, supaya Aku tidak melenyapkan engkau.

1. The only main weapon of Mashiach is prayer, which corresponds to the ChoTeM/nose, as it is written (Isa. 48:9): "u'tehilati eCheToM-lakh/for my praise I will restrain [My anger] for you." And that is where the root of his vitality is. And all the wars and all the conquests that he shall conquest — all is from there, as it is written (there, 11:3): "va'haRICho be'yirat Hashem/And he shall be enlivened with the fear of Hashem" etc.; this is like the chotem [ReIaCh = smell; RUaCh=spirit],

In whose nostrils a mud-eater had entered — this is like the prayer of Israel, as is written (Isa. 48): "For my praise will-I-restrain-[My-anger] (eCheToM [like ChoTeM, nose]) for you;" since a creeping thing, i.e. impurity, got mixed with his prayer and service and confused him, and this Israelite man was not able to perform his service completely. What did this man do? He performed the three aspects mentioned above, i.e. tying oneself to the Tzaddik and giving charity and spoken confession.
