Kabbalah Yesaya 5:24: Sha'arei Kedusha & Sha'arei Orah

Falsehood. A person who speaks falsehood denies the God of Israel, giving credence to another god, called falsehood. A person such as this is in the category of those who shall not greet the countenance of the Indwelling Presence of HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He, the Shechinah. This is as stated,⁵⁷⁹Psalms 101:7 “One who tells lies shall not be established before My eyes.” A person such as this is not considered to be included amongst the Jewish people, about whom it is written,⁵⁸⁰Zephaniah 3:13 “The remnant of Israel will not commit corruption, they will not speak falsehood, and a deceitful tongue will not be found in their mouth,” and the lifespan of such a person will be shortened.

Our sages, of blessed memory, stated,⁶¹¹Talmud Bavli, Pesachim 113b “The Holy One, blessed is He, hates three types of people: One who says one thing with his mouth but thinks another in his heart etc.” Similarly, our sages, of blessed memory, stated,⁶¹²Talmud Bavli, Sotah 41b “Any person who has flattery in him falls into purgatory (Gehinnom), as written,⁶¹³Isaiah 5:20 ‘Woe to those who call evil good and good evil,’ the continuation of which states,⁶¹⁴Isaiah 5:24 ‘Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours straw, and as chaff is consumed by the flame, so will their root become rot and their flower will be blown away like dust etc.’”

Now, when the Jewish people sinned against the Written Torah (Torah SheB’Khtav) and the Oral Torah (Torah SheBa’al Peh), the Prophet came and rebuked them stating,²⁸⁵Isaiah 5:24 “They have abhorred the Torah of HaShem-יהו״ה,” referring to the Written Torah (Torah SheB’Khtav), and then continues, “and they have scorned the saying-Imrat-אמרת of the Holy One of Israel,” referring to the Oral Torah (Torah SheBa’al Peh).²⁸⁶See Pesikta d’Rav Kahana 15:5
